Hallmark assistance please.

Post by infoseeker1957 »

Hello all. I acquired a magnificent bracelet and would like to know more about it. It appears to be old with some sort of green stone carved face in the middle. The hallmarks on the latch are Plata .925 Mexico and Iguala, CRD, MOC, Eagle 3. If anyone can explain any of this to me I would be most appreciative. I'm a new collector. thanks.

The centerpiece is glass. Plata means silver in Spanish Iguala is the town, GRO (not CRD) is for Guerrero, the state Iguala is in. MOC is the artisan who is unknown. The eagle 3 is a bit confusing since that usually indicates it's from Taxco, another town in Guerrero. It dates from 1955-1979.
