Mexico had its own system of marking silver products: they were marked with symbols, numbers, images.

Their jewelry alloy is similar to silver and plated with real 925 sterling silver. This combination gives the product strength and shine. They also made jewelry such as belt brooches with real insects such as scorpions.
