<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 9569188, member: 255"]Carefully check the ring and toggle and see if there is a stamp. IMO that piece is new enough that it should be stamped Mexico. The style is certainly correct for Mexico but both Mexico and NA are copied in quality materials in Indonesia. There are many similar on the internet but all I found were stamped Mexico and dated as “pre 2000” which is ebay vintage. Heck even 80s is still 40 plus years old. In my experience which is relatively significant with Mexican jewelry since I collect it on a small scale, there are exceptions to everything but the 70s and earlier cab bracelets are usually tongue and groove-toggles were more commonly used after that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
