  • A similar one from Mexico also..2.5 inches wide, silver2506032463?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

  • Very intricate, Angelo. I usually think of Mexican silver as a more chunky, solid affair (which I quite like, actually). But these are teaching me better. Lovely filigree work...Congrats!

  • Thanx Betty …i bought them at NY flea market 

    At first i though were Bulgarian or Ottoman of sorts …but ..No…stamped made in Mexico …sterling ...

    Interesting to see a similarity in filigree with ottoman influence!!!
