This alpaca ring was handmade by local craftsmen in Taxco, Mexico. In the 80's I travelled regularly to Taxco, importing jewellery to sell on Camden Lock market in London. I am now selling what remains of my stock. I have various sizes so please tell me your ring size.
*Alpaca is a mix of materials, (copper, nickel ,zinc) sometimes referred to as German silver because the Germans perfected the production of a material similar to silver. It is often used by craftsmen in Mexico and South America as it is more robust than silver but flexible enough to shape, and it tarnishes less. You may see it referred to as Mexican silver by others, but this is incorrect. Mexican silver is sterling silver and usually hallmarked .925.
