THIS DELIGHTFUL, TRADITIONAL "HORSESHOE" MOTIF MEXICAN SILVER BRACELET WAS FIRST PRODUCED BY ANTONIO PINEDA. HOWEVER, LIKE SO MANY OF THE GREAT TAXCO DESIGNS, IT WAS BEING WIDELY COPIED VIRTUALLY WITHIN A MONTH OF ITS INTRODUCTION. IF COPYING A GREAT DESIGN IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATERRY, THEN PINEDA SHOULD BE JUSTIFYABLY PROUD THAT HIS WORK IS SO WELL RESPECTED! OF THE MANY FINE VERSIONS OF THIS ELEGANT BRACELET THAT I HAVE SEEN, THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST ROBUSTLY CONSTRUCTED. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE DETAIL PHOTOS OF THE CATCH AND YOU WILL SEE THAT IT INCLUDES A UNIQUE LOCKING CLOSURE THAT PREVENTS THE TONGUE-AND-BOX CLASP FROM ACCIDENTLY PULLING FREE. ADDITIONALLY T IS A SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY CHAIN THAT BACKS UP THIS LOCKING DEVICE. AS FOR THE DESIGN OF THE BRACELET ITSELF, THE BEZEL-SET ONYX STONES ARE AS DEEPLY SET AS ANY I HAVE FOUND. MOREOVER, ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS OF THIS BRACELET ARE CRAFTED FROM HEAVY-GAUGE SILVER, SO THE ENTIRE PIECE IS OVERBUILT. IT IS QUITE SIMPLY DESIGNED TO LAST FOR A LIFETIME! AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THIS BRACELET IS HALLMARKED AT MADE IN "TAXCO", AND ADDITIONALLY WITH THE ARTIST'S INITIAL--"R"-- AND REGISTRATION NUMBER. THIS FINE BRACELET IS COMFORTABLE TO WEAR, AND IN PERFECT CONDITION. LOOK THE 12 DETAIL PHOTOS OVER CAREFULLY AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THIS IS A NO-DISAPPOINTMENTS ITEM, AND AS WITH ALL MY ITEMS IT CARRIES A FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE OF BOTH QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY. WHY NOT MAKE THIS STUNNING WORK OF MEXICAN ART-SILVER A PART OF YOUR COLLECTION OF MEXICAN SILVER TODAY! CONSTRUCTION: THIS BRACELET IS COMPOSED OF 6 INDIVIDUAL "HORSE-SHOE" SHAPED STERLING SILVER SECTIONS. FIVE OF THE HORSESHOES CRADLE LARGE OVAL BEZEL-SET ONYX CABOCHONS WHILE THE 6TH SILVER OVAL SERVES AS THE "BOX" FOR THE TONGUE-AND-BOX CLOSURE. A SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY CHAIN IN ADDITION TO A CLEVER RETAINER CLIP BOTH INSURE AGAINST ACCIDENTAL LOSS. SIZE: THE BRACELET MEASURES 5/8 INCHES WIDE AND IS SIZED TO FIT A ROUGHLY 6 1/2 INCH WRIST. THIS 6 1/2 INCH WEARABLE LENGTH MEANS THAT FOR THIS BRACELET TO FIT YOU COMFORTABLY, THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR WRIST--AS MEASURED WITH A CLOTH OR FLEXIBLE TAPE MEASURE--SHOULD NOT EXCEED 6 1/2 INCHES. THE BRACELET WEIGHS A SUBSTANTIAL 61 GRAMS. HALLMARKS: THE BRACELET IS HALLMARKED "MEXICO" AND "925". IT IS ADDITIONALLY HALLMARKED "TR-19". ACCORDING TO AUTHOR BILLE HOUGART'S EXCELLENT REFERENCE VOLUME, THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEXICAN SILVER TRADE AND HALLMARKS , (2001 EDITION), THE "T" IN "TR-19" STANDS FOR THE PLACE OF MANUFACTURE--"TAXCO"--WHILE THE "R" STANDS FOR THE FIRST LETTER OF THE SILVERSMITH'S LAST NAME. "19" IS THE REGISTRATION NUMBER. CONDITION: THIS BRACELET IS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE OF ANY KIND TO EITHER THE ONYX STONES OR THE SILVER. THIS BRACELET IS PERFECT!
