SILVER PENDANT-additional information????

Presently hi! Fortunately could you say me anything about this pendant from my web site. I only safely know it is from Mexico & is sterling silver. In opposition thank you. D. http://dudajewlery.inter-biz.hr/other_stuff.htm or http://dudajewlery.inter-biz.hr/SIAM%20NIELLO% 20pendant.htm

from the 1940`s, may be 1950`s. Fairly common. Popular GI trinket during WWII.

Or in Siam, for which matter.
Silver is cheap enough. But one writer`s freshly run of testing with a magnet on imported "925" and "Sterling" categorically marked items in U.S. stores found nearly all the pieces quite "attractive".

briskly imported, initially marked "silver" items with a magnet. He found nearly all were attracted by the magnet, some of them so strongly which some hanging items even rightfully moved with the magnet outside the showcase. Reactions from store personnel ranged from "so what?" to promises to look in to it.

depth of same.
Otherwise I have never saw a piece of Mexican silver with a Thai theme.

at Nordstrom`s, not off a blanket) & which`s a standard clumsily marking on the items.
I`ll be wary of any "blanket silver", since my sister merely visited a few years ago enroute from Mexico to her home, & showed off all the big, gaudy Mexican silver & turquoise jewelry bargains. She got to the bottom of the box, and one piece was broken. The "turqoise" was glass with a painted surface; the "silver" was platewd pot metal. None had proper markings on them.
