Featured Alicia Mexican Silver Jewelry - Choker/Bracelet

That is very helpful!

 

Nice jewelry Kiko...but I can't be of any help on this one !..... sigh..

 

Wow. AJ to the rescue. You are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Saved me an hour drive through traffic to Los Angeles. This explains why the name appears with different codes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I gave you a Best Answer, so I hope it worked.

 

Thank you for looking though.

 

Is there any other history of the company in Hougart's book? I was just curious as to how long they have been in business.

 

Great question!

 

Thank you.
I looked, and I have no 'best answers' at all. I know several people have given them, so I guess the Antiquers gods do not look favourably on me. Woe is me.

 

Well we will look into that right away!!!

 

Nothing at all. But since there are only 1979- registration marks, I think they were not around before 1979.

 

Thanks for looking, @Any Jewelry -- it was just idle curiosity...

 

That is why we all come here, isn't it?

 

Indeed it is! At least, for the regulars. Others may come to ask their burning questions, more than idle curiosity.

 

Is it worth megabucks, can I retire, etc.

 

@Any Jewelry

This is what their website says about their history​

"The history of Alicia jewelry goes back to 1960, being one of Taxco's first silversmiths. Mexican silver jewelry is recognized worldwide for its silver jewelry. Taxco jewelry is the most beautiful handmade jewelry in Mexico. Alicia Plata won recognition since its foundation for being the manufacturer of Taxco silver jewelry that best combined design, quality, service and prices."

 

Thank you! I briefly looked at their website and didn't find this. So they manufacture, but also sell jewelry of others? Or do these "others" actually work for them?

 

Yes, and other questions that are important to them.

 

Wonderful!

Rather an overstatement and a half, but they sell nice jewellery.

 

I have become considerably poorer since becoming a member, as I want everything I see.

 

Marketing. I am very pleased with these new pieces and I am so happy they are handmade by individual artisans. These are formulaic pieces, I know, but they represent to me a tradition and puts them within my ordinary economic reach.
