    Yes, accordingly to:
    https://www.925-1000.com/mexican_marks.html

    [​IMG]Circa 1979, the eagle system was put to rest and replaced by a new letter/number mark to indicate the silversmith and guarantee sterling standard.
    The first letter indicates location, and there are few in use, those most commonly seen are: T, M, G & C
    In this example the T is for Taxco - others are M for Mexico City, G is probably Guadalajara and C most likely Cuernavaca.
    The second letter indicates the first initial of the last name of the silversmith, in our example it is C.
    The number indicates that he is the 45th smith, with a name beginning with C, to register a mark in his city's assay office.
    This example, TC - 45, tells us that the item on which it is stamped, was made by a smith with surname initial C sometime after 1979 in the city of Taxco.

    Very cute earrings!:happy:
