Vintage Mexico Ati 925 Sterling Silver Earrings Ear Clips with Mother of Pearl
A refined pair of vintage Mexican modernist earrings, marked ATI and 925 sterling, in the clean-lined minimalist style for which Taxco silversmiths became celebrated through the mid-to-late twentieth century. Each earring takes the form of a simple, perfectly round disc, its smooth sterling bezel cupping a generous cabochon of natural mother-of-pearl. The shell discs are the visual heart of the design, displaying the soft, milky iridescence prized in fine nacre: gentle washes of cream, blush pink, pale gold and cool aquamarine shimmer across the surface as the light shifts, with the characteristic banded, watery striations of genuine mother-of-pearl clearly visible. The polished silver rims frame each shell neatly, their slim profile keeping the focus squarely on the play of color within. This understated, almost architectural geometry reflects the influence of mid-century modern design, where pure form and natural materials were favored over ornament. The fittings are clip-back ear clips, well suited to non-pierced ears and consistent with the vintage manufacture. In terms of condition, the mother-of-pearl cabochons appear intact and lustrous, free of obvious cracks or chips, retaining their full iridescent glow. The sterling settings show a warm, mellow patina with light surface wear and faint tarnish in places, honest signs of age that can be gently polished if a brighter look is preferred; the bezels hold the shell securely. Versatile and timeless, these earrings transition effortlessly from daytime to evening and flatter a wide range of skin tones thanks to the neutral, shifting palette of the nacre. Collectors will appreciate the authentic Mexican sterling marks and the enduring appeal of Taxco craftsmanship, while everyday wearers gain an elegant, easy-to-style pair that pairs equally well with casual and formal looks. A classic, quietly luxurious accent rooted in genuine materials.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
