A large quantity of our Mexican Silver and Sterling jewelry was purchased years ago from the estate of a dealer in Southwestern and Mexican Jewelry. Most is vintage and some have the original assay tags. We have multiples of some designs and others are one of a kind.

As early as the 1920's a small
town located midway between Mexico City and Acapulco  became a tourist destination for items made from sterling silver.  Some makers incorporated the city name "Taxco" into their shop name. Small silver shops dotted thet village and some remain today.

 This is a very old Mexican sterling set from an estate consisting of a necklace approx. 20" and featuring black and silver glass mounted in sterling frames. The necklace culminates in a larger round pendant with starburst center. Also included in the set are matching clip on earrings and 1-1/2" in diameter brooch. All pieces are marked but the signatures are very worn. I can make out Guad. Mexico JFCM Sterling 925. This is a beautiful set.
