Cinco de Mayo...Vintage Mexican Silver Jewelry

Vintage 1950s Silver Initial "D" Pin from Mexico
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Just a quick post today. There are so many fabulous pieces of vintage Mexican sterling silver jewelry out there! The two pieces shown here are from my shop, Wicked Darling

Many are so elaborate. Beautiful stones. Gorgeous enamel work...but identifying hallmarks on some of these pieces can be tough. There is a website out there that is really helpful! Even though I have shared it with you before, I thought that I would post it again.( 925-1000.com) Here is the link to the Mexican Silver hallmarks page: Mexican Silver

 I hope that you will find the link to 925-1000.com useful in your research. That site has silver hallmarks from all over the world and the site is very easy to use.

Stop by my shop, Wicked Darling, for more antique and vintage jewelry.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
