THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE & INTEREST IN MY TREASURES!** DESCRIPTION : You are bidding on a 2DIE4 GORGEOUS sterling silver and turquoise bracelet that was handwrought in Mexico, circa 1920's to 1930's. This bracelet is masterfully crafted in a very unique Aztec/Mayan motif. It consists of ten very dimensional cast silver links in two designs ~ t are five square links with an intricately detailed image of a Deity ~ the headdress is accented with a natural turquoise cabochon ~ Aztec and Mayan carvings often showed a Diety or God sticking out their tongue or breathing flames as a sign of giving life. The Deity links alternate with rectangular silver links that have a center channel that contains large silver demi sps ~ t are smaller silver demi sp accents on either side of the center channel. The links are connected with heavy silver soldered jump rings. T he clasp is a simple hook closure that is seen on much of the early Mexican silver jewelry. This is a really unique piece, crafted in a timeless design ~ it is comfortable to wear and will bring you loads of compliments ~ a grand asset to any vintage Mexican silver collection! SIZE: Inside circumference when closed is 7-1/4", width is 1", and weight is 69 grams. CONDITION : Superior vintage condition ~ no dings/dents to silverwork ~ no chips/cracks/breaks in turquoise cabochons ~ no damage noted ~ just about PERFECT! HALLMARKS : Simply hallmarked "SILVER, MADE IN MEXICO". Please note that the hallmark is raised rather than incised into the silver ~ the earliest Mexicn jewelry had raised marks. This piece is at least sterling silver 925 but is most likely a higher grade of silver since much of the early Mexican silver jewelry was crafted of 940-980 silver because it did not tarnish as quickly as sterling.

Treasures are shipped the day of or the day after cleared payment is received.
