DESCRIPTION : You are bidding a FABULOUS sterling silver necklace that was made in Mexico, after 1948. This gorgeous necklace is masterfully crafted in a very elegant Taxco design with a great art deco look ~ the necklace is very dimensional and consists of twenty-one thick silver links that are inlaid with the most magnificent gemstones ~ luscious deep purple amethyst, golden tiger's eye, shimmering obsidian, multi-hued agate and jade or jadite in soft lustrous green ~ it almost looks as if the silver links were formed around the gemstones. The links are connected with soldered silver "O" rings. The clasp is a tongue and box closure that works perfectly and closes with a crisp 'click'. This is a timelessly elegant Mexican necklace ~ it is extremely well crafted ~ a classical design that will always be in style ~ a grand asset to any Mexican silver collection! This would make a grand Christmas present..........or, treat YOURSELF!!! SIZE: Inside circumference when closed is 15-3/4", width is 1/2", and weight is 54 grams. CONDITION : Superior vintage condition ~ no chips/cracks/breaks in gemstones ~ no dings or dents to the silverwork ~ no damage noted ~ just about PERFECT! HALLMARKS : The hallmark on this necklace is a bit of a mystery ~ it is signed "MMM" and has the Eagle 3 assay mark. Perhaps a previous owner removed one of the links that had further hallmarks on it. In any case, having the Eagle assay mark identifies this piece as Mexican and dating it to being made after 1948. PLEAS E NOTE: Mexican vintage si lver jewelry is hand wrought, and tfore, not perfectly symmetrical ~ each piece will have variances that indicate that the piece is hand made ~ this does not constitute damage.
