[QUOTE="stracci, post: 3119590, member: 13814"]I see a lot of Mexican "silver' here in the Southwest. Many people are fooled. Usually they mimic NA designs, and the craftsmanship is shoddy. The color of the metal is wrong, and they are too heavy. I once found a bangle similar to the one [USER=8363]@KikoBlueEyes[/USER] is showing. It had a very subtle yellowish tone, even though the stamp said 925. It didn't test silver. I guess it was some type of weird pot metal.[/QUOTE]
