Welcome to The Mexican Silver Shop Specializing in Vintage Mexican, Peruvian, and Native American Silver Taxco Sterling Necklace Description: What a real treasure this gorgeous sterling & alexandrite necklace from Taxco Mexico is. The pendant is large, see the photo with my hand for perspective. These large pendants are sometimes called "perfume" pendants because t is a hole in the back to insert a perfume soaked cloth and then the cut away areas in the front release the smell as your body warms the perfume. This neat pendant has a border of Aztec figures and the inner circle shows cut out feet. The multi faceted alexandrite stone is prong set in the center. The pendant is circa 1955. The chain is not original to this piece, but is from Mexico and is sterling silver. It goes beautifully with the pendant and has thick, heavy loops and a well working slide in clasp. The chain is post-1978 but I believe it to be at least 20 years old due to the patina. The stone in the pendant is just beautiful; t are electric pink, red, maroon, and purple flashes of light deep within it and it really sparkles. Mexican alexandrites are lab created (natural Alexandrites are very rare and costly). A lab created gemstone is a man-made gemstone with the same appearance, chemical formula, and crystal structure as the natural gemstone. As you hold this pendant in different lights, you can see many different colors, but the primary color is purple like amethyst. My studio lights often shoot alexandrite as blue which you can see in some of the photos. In most lighting this stone is purple with the highlights flashing multi-color as mentioned. Both the pendant and chain are artist signed and of exceptional quality. You won't be disappointed in this big beauty!
