[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 936570, member: 2844"]Welcome, Ronald. Yes, the initials are AMC, after 1979 those are always seen with the Taxco registration mark TM20. AMC was already making jewellery before 1979, since the maker's mark is also seen on pieces with the eagle mark. Who AMC is, is a mystery to me, there are hundreds of silversmiths in the town of Taxco and most are not well-known. It is a classic Mexican choker, Modernist style with a pre-Columbian influenced design. Very nice and good quality. Not by a famous maker, but Taxco has almost become known as a brand of its own. The name Taxco sells.[/QUOTE]
