Modern Mexican Sterling
Hi, I have these mexican sterling earrings that seem to be inlaid with onyx. They are marked with what looks like an M with possibly other letters attached on the bottom of the M. Does this look familiar to anyone? The earrings feel heavy and solid and they are about 3 inches long. They are only stamped on the one earring.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Mexican Silver by Penny Morrill & Carole Berk has the most of the post 1979 T marks through 1993. Bille Hougart's Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade & Hallmarks is a good all round book for marks, best one to buy to start.
Most post 1979 T marks are for unknown artisans so having their name doesn't help much. Famous designers continued using their known marks instead of T marks for the most part.
