This box comes from Mexico, usually Mexican jewelry will be marked "Mexico". Since 1948, according to Mexican law, all Silver products in Mexico, whether privately made or produced by a jewellery company, must bear the “Made in Mexico” or “Mexico” seal, so when you receive a piece with “Mexico” Or "Taxco" (city name), are 925 sterling silver products from Mexico. Mexican silver jewellery sold in the antique jewelry market, abalone shell and stone are the most common decorative materials. These are decorations with traditional Indian themes, with exquisite patterns and decorations. These specimens are very expensive, and the older the decoration, the brighter the abalone pattern → the more expensive. These Mexican jewelry became popular in 1920. Because of "tourism", Mexico produced these Silver jewelry in large quantities for tourists. In 1980, a new silversmith registration system appeared in Mexico. According to this system, all silverware is printed with letters and numbers. The first symbol: the letter represents the name of the production city, and the second symbol represents the silversmith’s surname. And the adjacent number is the number of the registered master in a given city... These are all reference books available for query. The mark "Alpaca", literally means alpaca. Alpaca is a "stainless steel alloy" without any Silver content, colorless, and will not oxidize in the air. In Latin America, a large number of affordable jewelry is made of this Alpaca alloy. Alpaca is not a Silver alloy. It has Bronze, nickel, zinc, and iron (the most common). Products made with it can be coated with sterling silver or 925 Silver. It is relatively inexpensive to replace Silver. .. ★ This is an old western antique jewelry, not a brand new product. The photos are all real objects and taken under natural light.
