This was earrings, I bought a big lot at an estate and got alot of these single earrings like this, so I thought they were PERFECT for a necklace pendant for your chain! Especially if you have the matching earrings! This is the perfect size pendant as well. It's signed on the back but it's half rubbed off, most of the others say Taxco Mexico so I assume this is too? Maybe alpaca Mexico? it is signed BUT it IS NOT 925 sterling silver. The front has beautiful inlaid abalone shell in hues of blue, green, pink, lavender, cream etc. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The background is black. I'm not sure what it is but they always use some kind of natural stone material for the whole thing. I used a silver tone bail, I have a stainless steel one I can use, it's smaller but it's more the subtle silver color like is on the back of the pendant, but this one does match just fine. I can send a stainless if you ask.
This is 2 & 1/4" long. and 1" wide.
Excellent condition could use a polish cleaning if you like it really shiny I love the natural aged patina. This is very old and vintage said to be from around the 60's.

Is it marked 925? Much Alpaca jewelry is silver over mixed metal.

Please answer my question. I have sensitive skin and have had to return jewelry that was stated was sterling silver when it was not.

@disneygurl2u hi I just saw your question I'm sorry when you don't tag me in comments often they get lost and are overlooked accidentally, I ALWAYS answer my questions promptly when I know I have them. I am not going to tell you it's 100% sterling since you have skin issues, I am almost positive it is, all the others I bought at the same estate with this were all marked 925. that's really all the info I have I'm sorry.

@lolas_boutique_ thanks for your reply. Some alpaca jewelry is definitely sterling but sometimes not marked. It certainly is a beautiful piece. Is it non magnetic?

@disneygurl2u to avoid people not answering your questions please always tag them, you can do that like this @disneygurl2u and it will alert people. I know if I'm not tagged I miss alot of messages. as far as the items and me being 100% I can't say that I am 100% it's rubbed off and it's old. If you want to try it I will accept a return if it bothers your skin. 💕

@lolas_boutique_ okay, yes I usually do tag people here but sometimes I forget to do so. Thanks for reminding me that it essential and courteous to do so the other person has a chance to response. I will keep the pendent on my mind. Thanks again for your kindness. I will check out your closet and think about it.

@disneygurl2u sadly it’s not sterling. Alpaca is never labeled alpaca and still be sterling. If it was, I would have bought this already because it’s gorgeous

@bellydance thanks for the information. I have been wondering about this as well. I see some sellers listing Alpaca jewelry as sterling and wonder. They say it was tested. Perhaps tested to be non magnetic which would mean very likely the metal is silver over brass as brass is non magnetic as well

@disneygurl2u Thanks! this was listed a while ago, I now know all about alpaca and know it's not ever sterling, I have thousands of listings and can't get around to updating older ones as needed. This will be updated however, and I know it's not sterling as of now. Thank you.
