    Hi all
    just want to make sure I'm understanding the Mexico mark on these earrings (marked on just the one). TR-55 stands for Taxco, R is the initial of the maker and he/she was registered in 1955. I found another pair of these, they have some gold decoration on them, but no information on the name.
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    They certainly look very 1980s-ish.

    Mexican earrings from the 1950s would have had screw backs.

    I didn't think they were from the 1950s, I thought the 55 was the date the artist was registered:)

    As stated above the 55 means that the silversmith was the 55th person with a last name beginning with R who registered in Taxco. That stamping didn’t start until 1979.
