These pieces are fabulous! They are vintage folk parajito (birds) and from Guanajuato. They are quite lovely, filled with detail and in a class all to theirselves. Tied off on the underneath in construction is each tiny bird, leaf and piece of each scene. These are as these pieces come, only marked 925. Filled with the pearls as eggs and the coral is the eye of the bird and decorated with the blue glass as the center of flowers. The bracelet is shown because the color and the flowers work so wonderfully with these pieces that I could not help showing it with the group. It is pietra dura mosaic that is made in Italy with 800 silver and is much older than the other Mexican pieces shown. These were once sold as tourist bracelets. It is 7in. long and 1 1/8 wide. The weight is 41.9 grams.The inlay on the stone of the pietra dura is perfect with none missing. A grand addition to anyones collection! The Mexican earrings are 19.3 grams and 2 1/4 in. long and 7/8in. wide. The ring weighs 12.4 grams and is a size 8.5. The rings face is one inch and it rises up from the finger a half an inch high. The mounting of the ring is sticks that are the birds nest. These pieces are rare and even more so because of the large size of the pieces. All are in superb condition.
