Items marked Silver are usually from China and are often less than 925/sterling.

It's brass, it was used a lot in Mex jewelry, there is even a store in Taxco, Laton (means brass in Spanish) that specilizes in it.

Re: Help with marks on NYMPH ? necklace

It's an electroform piece from Israel. I don't remember who the maker is but I've seen the mark many times. There was usually a sticker on the piece with the info but they were often removed at the first wear.

Re: help/info in silver markings

Looks like TS-108 so it was made in Taxco after 1979 by an unknown artisan. The grapes were a popular tourist design.

It's not Native American in the least, the vendor you are referencing frequently uses NA terms illegally as Keyword Spamming.

Re: Native American Ring.

It looks more like a manufactured Southwest ring rather than actual NA.
NA artisans don't use copyright marks.

Re: Native American Earrings - Help

Definitely not Native American. The mark is a manufacturer, I think I've seen it ID'd here before but don't remember who. It's the maker of the clips, used by anyone. The earrings look like electroform work from Israel. It's hard to ID them since they often had stickers with the maker's name that we...

Re: Native American Bracelet?

The stone is most likely Turquoise gone green with age and contact with body oils. A lot of these were Southwest trading post pieces, not actually handmade by an NA artisans.

Re: "SILVER" marked

Most things I've seen marked just silver are from China, this looks like it may have had some enamel in it. They are often less than 925/sterling.

Re: Help ID German maker's mark 800DM

I"ve seen similar pieces listed as Middle Eastern which makes it hard to date since many of their newer pieces are made just like the older ones.

Re: Trying to get information of the earrings I have.

The mark is Pineda's in a crown, it was used by a brother of Antonio Pineda. The upper left mark is likely TP-17 so they date 1979 to now.
