As per google:
The experimental period for mid-century cufflinks with two different colors primarily occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. This was part of the broader Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design movement, which emphasized creative expression through bold colors, geometric shapes, and new materials.
Key characteristics of this experimental period include:
- Artistic enameling: Cufflinks were frequently made with colored enamel over materials like copper, brass, and sterling silver. Artists and manufacturers experimented with abstract designs that combined contrasting colors.
- Mixed metals: Cufflinks often featured two-tone designs using different metals, such as gold and silver or copper and silver, creating visual contrast and interest.
- Playful, modernist designs: The two-color style was a departure from more traditional, single-metal cufflinks. The resulting pieces, with their striped, color-blocked, and abstract patterns, were intended to be fun and individualistic.
- Designer pieces: Many well-known accessory companies, including Swank and Anson, produced cufflinks during this period that featured two-tone designs

Mexican Margot de Taxco Rodriguez Sterling Silver And Onyx 3″ Shoulder Duster Dangle Earrings
This is a very long pair of vintage 1970s-1980s Taxco, Mexican Sterling Silver dangle earrings with onyx cab tops and long moving feather dangles. Marked Mexico, 925 for sterling silver quality, with a T for Taxco and partly worn maker letter that looks like "L". These hyphenated markings were government issued starting in the late 1970s. Marking is likely a worn R and attributed to Melesio Rodriguez who was the long time foreman for The Margot de Taxco/Margot Voorhies shop. If you look at the distinctive small 9 part flowers that are applied to the top you can easily recognize that these are Margot de Taxco earrings. There were only 2 other makers assigned with the 114 maker mark. One was "TC" and the other was "TV" one of which made floral and rose motif jewelr while the other only made stone inlay jewelry.
These long shoulder duster earrings are originally from the Margot shot. The onyx cabochon stones are 13mm each, bezel set, well cut, well polished and showy. They have no cracks or damage and are still shiny from the original polishing of the stone. The sterling silver is very thick, strong and durable. Extremely well made as you would find with Margot jewelry. Weight is 22.4 grams. Condition is excellent. No dents or dings, tears or deep scratches to the sterling silver. Some light faint surface age wear only. Clean but not freshly polished out. They are extremely detailed and very, very well-made having deep obvious recesses in the feather/long leaf dangles, textured leaf end that look like cut off twigs, separately hand applied flowers and balls on the edges. This is a lovely beautiful pair of long, showy shoulder duster earrings for your vintage Mexican silver jewelry collection.
