This Sterling set is hollow- with a flat backing. The brooch measures 2 1/2" by 2 1/4" and the grapes rise to a height of 7/8" and is marked on the back- some of the letters are hard to read- I am sure the Hecho En Mexico is there, as is the PLATA 925 mark. There are initials and some other words- I can make out a capital A & H. The earrings are screwbacks and are marked only SILVER MEXICO. They measure 1". All are in excellent condition- except for a tiny ding in one grape rich patina.

This lovely design is by Isidro Garcia Pina- made in Taxco Mexico. Maricela is his daughter's name. The brooch measures 1 5/8" across and also has a bail for hanging as a pendant. I don't have a gram scale, but it feels quite heavy! The recessed portions have been given the Niello treatment and so are a darkened silver. There is a raised rope twist around the edge and the figurwe itself is raised. The brooch is signed on back Maricela 925 TASCO HECHO EN MEXICO STERLING and the eagle assay #2. The earrings are screwbacks and measure 1" across. They are also signed on the back. In excellent condition!
