I have a huge PASSION (obsession?!) for antique and vintage Mexican silver jewelry. I guess that my interest began while I was in high school (many, MANY years ago!). My Mother would travel to Mexico every summer and would bring back exquisite silver jewelry that was designed and crafted by Mexican silversmith artisans. I am constantly buying more (and more!) ~ some pieces are added to my collection and some I offer to you on Ebay so that you may experience the wonderful feeling of Mexican silver against your skin and come to appreciate the creative artistry and superb craftsmanship of Mexican silver masters . This is a STUNNING art deco styled necklace made by master silversmith MARCEL BOUCHER (PARISINA) in Mexico prior to 1948. The Mexican government mandated the use of the Eagle assay marking system for silver in 1948. This system was changed to the letter/number system in late 1979/early 1980. Since this necklace has neither mark, it is safe to assume that it was made before 1948. Marcel Boucher designed and made Mexican silver jewelry during World War II and signed his pieces PARISINA. This piece is masterfully crafted of 21 curved links (1-" long and 5/8" wide) ~ the links are connected with silver "O" rings ~ it is very well made. The length of this necklace when closed is approximately 15-1/4" ~ width is 5/8" ~ it weighs 42.8 grams ~ it has a lovely rich patina that vintage silver is known and loved for ~ and the condition is pristine. It is signed and fully hallmarked "STERLING, MEXICO" AND "PARISINA". Silversmith "MARCEL BOUCHER AND PARISINA" are shown on page 15 and 142 of Bille Hougart's highly respected source book The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks . Boucher's vintage pieces sell for hundreds of dollars at antique stores so grab yourself a bargain! This is a rare vintage Mexican piece ~ it would make a wonderful gift for someone ~ or treat yourself ~ the holidays are fast approaching! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! "No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted."
