Measuring nearly five inches long, this dramatic piece is designed as an elongated lightning-bolt form with crisp angular turns and a sleek, minimalist silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exaggerated scale gives the brooch tremendous visual impact, while the polished sterling surface keeps the design refined and modern rather than theatrical. Its strong linear geometry feels distinctly late-20th-century, with a graphic, almost architectural quality that makes it especially striking against dark fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked 925, FG-137, Mexico, the brooch is a wonderful example of Mexican modernist jewelry from the period, combining the sculptural tradition of Taxco silverwork with the sharper, more graphic design language of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece has recently been professionally polished and presents beautifully, with a bright reflective finish. Any dark lines or unusual marks visible in the photographs are reflections from the polished silver surface rather than condition issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor added versatility, a converter is included so the brooch may also be worn as a pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA superb statement piece for collectors of Taxco silver, Mexican modernist jewelry, 1980s design, and oversized wearable art—dramatic, clean, and unmistakably eye-catching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taxco Sterling Artisan Brooch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44054948347994,"sku":"sso1789226779597","price":119.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/1921\/4938\/files\/superb-taxco-designer-sterling-lightening-bolt-brooch-nearly-5-long-c-1980s_1.png?v=1789226789","url":"https:\/\/xavelle.shop\/products\/superb-taxco-designer-sterling-lightening-bolt-brooch-nearly-5-long-c-1980s","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
