I was thinking 4 and 6 too but on second look think it's 4. I did find a sterling serving bowl once. Once. I wasn't even sure up to that point...
Thirded. Probably a fly, given that it was made in Taxco. It doesn't look right for a bee. Made between 1948 and 1978. I'm no Mexican jewelry...
Random cheap metal. That stuff. I was thinking the same thing, although that design showed up earlier too; I don't believe the OP thinks it's old.
Accidental humor, satire and wishful thinking. Then again some antiques dealers have been in that vein of making me laugh for years now.
In some parts down there you married your cousin as a matter of course. Populations were so small and isolated there wasn't much choice. My...
That's bound to be some kinda sale.
Seconded - are there any marks? It wouldn't surprise me if it was silver. I'd be all over it with a good loupe; if that thing is French or...

...and should all now do Ancestry, 23 or whatever tests before their descendants marry? (LOL) I would not be the least surprised.
I've made half buckles into pendants before. Some are easier to mess with than others.
Sam Colt was no dummy, but I bet Elizabeth (even less of a dummy) was behind the wicker. Turn a problem into an asset. His original factory is...
They made narrow dress belt buckles, ornamental naturally, like this back in the 30s. This is half of one. Too bad we don't have the other half...
It looks like glass from here. The setting appears to be a costume one I've seen before. No idea what to call it, although one of the jewelry...
Just to be dumb, but ... have you scratch tested that thing for gold yet? Some South American gold marks aren't too far off. I'd test on the...
Brain went on vacation for that one. Dang Frog weather, i.e. rain, ate my brain.
Separate names with a comma.
