Vintage Mexican sterling silver pendant featuring an oval red cabochon stone (untested, but looks to be carnelian or red jasper) in a decorative sunburst-style sterling silver setting. The pendant has an ornate openwork border with rope-style detailing around the stone, giving it a bold Mexican artisan look.

The reverse is stamped CII / MEXICO / 925. The CII mark is commonly attributed in the vintage jewelry market to Caravantes, a Mexican artisan jewelry manufacturer. Pieces with this mark are often associated with late 20th-century Mexican sterling jewelry, commonly described as 1980s–1990s era.
