      The "T" stands for Taxco.
      The "R" is the initial of either the first or last name of the silversmith.
      The "57" means that person is the 57th registered silversmith in Taxco.

    6. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      I was hoping someone knew who that 57th registered person was... : )
    7. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      You can wear it facing any which way.
    8. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      He/she would have been the 57th person in Taxco with the last name starting with an 'R'... Alas and alack - I think they may never be identified!
    9. Celiene Celiene, 8 years ago
      As time passes (I have had this for YEARS) more stuff shows by thie person. I've tried to find it a new home for YEARS, and never any takers! Whoever made it like to work in Silver & Brass in a modern style.

      I'm gonna start looking at 99 cent aucts. WHY people post at 99 centz still is beyond me. There are some BARGAINS to be found! Looking at closed items, just now. I never buy there maybe I should!

      I think this kind of jewelry was rather popular some years ago. I have a pair if earrings, too, but I don't remember it I posted them already.
