Mexico Sterling Marks

Hi all
just want to make sure I'm understanding the Mexico mark on these earrings (marked on just the one). TR-55 stands for Taxco, R is the initial of the maker and he/she was registered in 1955. I found another pair of these, they have some gold decoration on them, but no information on the name.
any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

It was made sometime after 1980,see link. http://www.silvercollection.it/mexicosilvermarks.html

 

They certainly look very 1980s-ish.

I don't think the 55 is a date of any kind, but rather the 55th person with surname initial R registered there.

wonderful, thanks ladies

 

Mexican earrings from the 1950s would have had screw backs.

I didn't think they were from the 1950s, I thought the 55 was the date the artist was registered

 

Apologies for misunderstanding.

no worries, I'm not always sure on when jewelry was made, but these looked80s-90s to me good tip on the screw back time period

 

As stated above the 55 means that the silversmith was the 55th person with a last name beginning with R who registered in Taxco. That stamping didn’t start until 1979.

 

thanks reader I was just repeating what I thought the 55 meant, bakers set me straight with her post
