Hi all, it's been so long since I've been on this forum - feels like a lifetime ago!   Recently found this little lovely. I have no idea of how to describe it, who the maker might be, and what era it comes from - guessing 40s,maybe Czech? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! ... View more

Vintage Taxco Mexico Sterling Silver 925 Black Onyx Bracelet Carved Aztec Panel. They are all marked sterling silver, 925,  but are not! These bracelets from Taxco and Mexico are not real silver.

I'm 99% sure this is not an authentic Zuni festish bead necklace but I do think it might be worth something.  It is very well made.  The small beads look like Heishi.  The stones look real but I just don't know enough about it.  Also just so you know I would never sell it as Zuni unless I knew for sure.  I think it could be an expensive replica.  Any info and thoughts appreciated!
