[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4606110, member: 2844"]It is a post-1980 Mexico City maker's tax registration mark. Although these are probably also made in Taxco, this one is by a Mexico City maker. Those newer registration marks are usually very difficult to identify, and this one is mostly illegible. And even though it is very pretty, it is a fairly generic piece, so the design can't tell us anything either. Post-1980 means not much history either. In this case, knowing the maker wouldn't add to the value. If you get it repaired it would be very wearable, but it is up to you to decide if it is worth it. Btw, a bird tail rather than a hand? Or just a way to make the lower part less chunky and more elegant?[/QUOTE]
