Description

View Vintage Sterling Silver 925 Taxco Mexico Malachite Hinged Bangle Bracelet with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The marks on the silver item indicate it is a piece of vintage Mexican sterling silver from Taxco, dating from between the late 1940s and late 1970s. Hallmark Analysis 925: This mark signifies that the item is made of sterling silver, meaning it is 92.5% pure silver. Mexican silver items were often made to this standard. "HECHO EN TAXCO" (Made in Taxco): This text, along with "MEXICO" (partially visible), confirms the item's origin in Taxco, Mexico, a renowned center for high-quality silver craftsmanship. Eagle Mark with the number "3": The eagle mark was a government-instituted assay stamp used from 1948 until about 1980. The number "3" specifically corresponds to the assay office in the city of Taxco. Maker's Mark: There appears to be a smaller, circular maker's mark with initials inside the larger stamp that identifies the specific silversmith or workshop. Without a clear view of these initials, the exact maker cannot be determined, as many anonymous artisans used the generic Eagle 3 stamp during this period. Condition: New without packaging.
