Floral Valentin Vidaurreta Brooch in Sterling Silver
This remarkable mid-century Taxco brooch features a blooming floral motif enhanced by graceful scrollwork, demonstrating Valentin Vidaurreta’s signature mastery of sculptural design. Its curling petals rise in layered relief, creating a dynamic, three-dimensional presence that catches the eye from every angle. True to the finest traditions of Taxco silver jewelry, this piece reflects both elegance and craftsmanship—two hallmarks that made Vidaurreta’s work sought after by collectors worldwide.
Valentin Vidaurreta played an influential role in the Mexican silver renaissance, joining a circle of pioneering artisans in Taxco who elevated the region’s global reputation for fine silver jewelry. He was particularly admired for the fluidity and realism of his botanical designs, which drew inspiration from Mexico’s natural beauty. Through meticulous detail and hand-finishing techniques, Vidaurreta gave each piece a sense of movement and vitality, securing his legacy as one of Taxco’s most esteemed silversmiths.
This brooch is crafted in 930 silver—a higher purity than standard 925 sterling—endowing it with an rich luster. The “VV” hallmark alongside the “930” stamp confirms both its authenticity and premium metal content. Based on the design, marks and latch, it was likely crafted in the late 1930s or 1940s.
