Fantastic vintage sterling silver Mexican earrings featuring a wonderfully whimsical celestial design of a howling wolf nestled within a crescent moon, with a star above. The earrings are mirror images of one another, including the reverse stamp detail, although not exactly identical, displaying the lovely hand-punched variations that are so characteristic of handmade rather than mass-produced pieces.
Wonderfully evocative and full of artisan charm, these unusual earrings have a mystical, Southwestern feel. The subtle differences between the two pieces are exactly the kind of hand-finished detail that collectors of vintage Mexican silver appreciate.
