It features a sleek, sculptural rigid band that fits closely around the neck, tapering down to an open, stylized prong focal point at the front.
The interior band is stamped with clear hallmarks identifying its origin and purity, including "MEXICO" and "STERLING" or ".925" (denoting 92.5% pure silver content).
It includes a localized Mexican maker's mark (such as an eagle assay stamp or a specific silversmith's monogram registration), which is highly characteristic of artisan vintage jewelry produced in silversmithing hubs like Taxco, Mexico.
The clean lines, geometric structure, and hinged or rigid open-front format are typical of Mid-Century Modernist jewelry movements from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Dimensions: 6" H x 4.75" W x .13" thick
