Mexican Deco silver and caged tumbled stones Chain Necklace
It is always exciting when I stumble upon a Mexican chain necklace made of polished, tumbled hard-stones caged in sterling silver. When that example happens to be from the pre-1948 period, I am elated! Made up of various agates and black onyx, maybe even a jasper here and there, the necklace at hand is perfect for the winter, its colors warm and cozy yet somewhat subdued , mirroring the dormant nature all around…
Size / Weight: 30 1/2” long; stone width varies between 1/2” and 3/4”; 129.2 grams
Hallmarks / Date: maker’s initials “SHC” as well as “STERLING MADE IN MEXICO” albeit badly stamped; pre-1948
Condition: excellent vintage with beautifully glistening stones, great colors, nice patina and no damage or repairs noted
