Antonio Pineda was an excellent craftsman - he NEVER made hinges of twisted wire - much easier to execute on cheap jewelry (picture attached to compare Pineda`s genuine hinges).Besides, green stones are not set properly, overall appearance suggests poor craftsmanship. As for AP mark it can anything, including even genuine Pineda clasp from elsewhere and soldered here. There are bracelets like this not even made of silver and only the clasp is ``sterling Taxco`` for example. But I rely on marks only when everything else is right and nothing is right here,unfortunately.
