I am not an expert but i will try to describe this piece as best as I can. This is a modernist designed, Sterling Silver cuff bracelet, by the designer Emma Melendez from the 1950's. Emma Melendez is a well respected Taxco artist who opened her own taller in 1953 and employed a number of designers. These designers initials often appear on her jewelry along with the Emma signature. Emma is the niece of well known maestro, Rafael Melendez and the work coming out of Emma's taller was always of the finest quality and design.This cuff has an inside diameter of almost 2 3/8", the wrist opening is 1 2/8" and the bracelet is 5/8" wide. As you can see in the photos the marks are R.CH, Emma, 950, the "3 eagle" and Taxco Mex. Which appear to me to be appropriate and authentic for her pieces. T is one Tiny cut or nick in the silver at the front of the bracelet - that might be original or due to age - I really don't know. Either way it is found upon close close inspection only.Overall this is a great example of modernist Taxco jewelry from the 1950's by famed designer Emma Melendez.
