Additional Information
CII Mexico was one of many mid-to-late 20th century Mexican makers producing high-polish sterling silver in the Southwestern style for the North American market. The design borrows from traditional concho motifs—originally used in leatherwork—adapted here as wearable jewelry. The domed center and beaded border were common in Taxco and Guadalajara workshops, where silverwork mixed Native American aesthetics with Mexican silversmithing techniques. These earrings reflect the clean, geometric revival of the 1980s, favoring symmetry and shine over heavy engraving or stonework. Pieces like these were sold in tourist shops and boutique catalogs catering to the Western and artisan silver trend.
