Looks like TS-108 so it was made in Taxco after 1979 by an unknown artisan. The grapes were a popular tourist design.

thanks ValkyrieVixen for the info
do you think they mix silver and gold in the same piece, the leaves seem to be gold?

It's brass, it was used a lot in Mex jewelry, there is even a store in Taxco, Laton (means brass in Spanish) that specilizes in it.
