Vintage Mexican SIlver Taxco Stone and era question

[UndoneMrs]

Me again ! : ) I have a few questions about this vintage Mexican silver necklace.
1) What sort of blue stones are those ?
2)What era is this from, I was thinking 60s, but I'm no expert at jewelry.
3)The halmark:
950
TX 57
Mexico
I wasn't aware of 950 silver, I'm definite its not 925
4) What sort of style is this, it kinda reminds me of a wishbone.

Thanks so much, I LOVE THIS SITE !

Great fluid form! That's a very nice set and the stones are Sodalite. It's likely no earlier than 90's and I would say millennium -- and 950 is a popular silver fineness in better Mexican jewelry and so I'm sure the demi had a handsome price on it when first purchased. Congrats!

Thanks so much ! Is a demi a name for an earring and necklace set ? I'm going to have to look up Sodalite.

A demi-parure is just a partial set, and can be any combination (could be earrings, bracelets, brooches, necklaces, etc., and must consist of at least two). Nice find.
