Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver Rope Border Button Earrings 24mm Gilbert Ortega 925 Mexico Large Domed Southwestern Statement Earrings

These bold vintage sterling silver button earrings feature a classic Southwestern rope-border design and were originally sold through the renowned Gilbert Ortega trading posts of Scottsdale and Santa Fe. Crafted in Mexico and marked 925, they showcase a beautifully sculptural domed profile framed by a substantial twisted rope surround — a timeless gallery-style look associated with quality mid-to-late 20th-century Mexican silverwork.

At a striking 24 mm diameter, these earrings make a confident statement while remaining versatile enough for everyday Southwestern styling or collector wear. Their generous dome height gives them presence and dimension not often seen in smaller button forms.

Pieces retailed through Gilbert Ortega are especially sought after for their connection to historic Southwestern gallery jewelry traditions and carefully curated artisan silver selections.

These retain their original display cards, adding to their authenticity and presentation appeal.

A wonderful example of classic vintage Mexican sterling with strong Southwestern character.
