[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1251303, member: 2844"]Lovely set, Kiko, nice quality. I have it.:D Alicia is the name of a silver retailer in Taxco. Alicia is also known as Alicia Plata (silver) and Joyería Alicia (jeweller). Hougart doesn't seem to know if there ever was a lady called Alicia, or if they just picked a nice name. The codes are the tax registration codes for the different silversmiths that sell their jewellery to the retailer. No great names, and the people at Alicia's probably tell them what is in demand. TO-40 is the registration code of one of the makers known to be associated with Alicia, and O was clearly doing a good job.;) Some of those silversmiths start out under the wings of a retailer until they have a reputation and can set up a shop of their own. But most are happy the way things are, working with the security of a retailer who will buy their jewellery.[/QUOTE]
