Hi, Thanks for the tips. I have found a lot of silver at garage sales. When it comes to jewelry, I look for silver marks such as .925, 925, or sterling, and are great ways to identify sterling silver in jewelry. Does Mexican Jewelry have this type of silver stamping or is ti different?
Mexican silver jewelry is often marked with 925, especially newer pieces. Older jewelry sometimes is stamped only Silver Mexico. Other pieces have marks indicating the workshop where the piece was made or the designer.
