Beautiful vintage Taxco sterling silver cuff bracelet, crafted in a sleek modernist V‑shaped design. This piece is solid sterling silver and carries the authentic post‑1979 Mexican hallmark MEXICO 925 TC‑05, confirming its origin and metal purity.
Stamped: MEXICO 925 TC‑05 This hallmark identifies the bracelet as genuine sterling silver made in Taxco, Mexico, one of the world’s most important silver‑making regions.
MEXICO — Country of origin
925 — Sterling silver (92.5% pure silver)
TC‑05 — Post‑1979 silversmith registration code
T = Taxco
C = First initial of the maker’s last name
05 = The 5th Taxco silversmith with a last name beginning with “C” to register under the modern system
Because the registry began around 1979–1980, a low sequence number like “05” indicates an early registration, making this bracelet likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s.
The specific maker is not documented, as Mexican registry records are not publicly available, but the hallmark confirms authentic Taxco craftsmanship.
