Erika Hult de Corral was one of a few women silver designers working in mid-twentieth century Taxco, Mexico. She studied in Paris at the Parsons School of Design and worked with Enrique Ledesma and Sigi Pineda in Taxco before opening her own shop in Puerto Vallart. Ric is her maker’s mark.

Excerpts from the seller’s listing:

….absolutely amazing sterling silver pectoral necklace and matching earrings by Erika Hult de Corral, circa 1955. You can quite clearly see the influence of Maestro Sigi Pineda in the design of this set, especially the earrings. The necklace is made of flat hammered sterling “teeth” with the longest being 4″…matching earrings have two “teeth” that dangle and a pair of sterling boomerang-shaped pieces, one textured and the other not and closing with Sigi’s signature hinged screwbacks. The necklace closes with a hook clasp and the beads and “teeth” are strung on silver chain…
