    Description

    Being offered is a vintage Mexican artisan, made in Mexico, jewelry bracelet.  The bracelet is marked with extensive markings, typical of Mexican jewelry indicating it was made of sterling silver by Ballesteros.  The bracelet is hinged and has a bold statement design as if worn by a conquistador.  The bracelet has some dings at an upper portion shown in the pic, but otherwise no other issues and the hinge is strong and clamps down.  The bracelet is approx. 2 3/4" wide at its widest portion, but the band portion is approx.  7/8" wide.  The inside circumference varies as it is hinged, and the bracelet fully closed is approx.  6 3/4" , and opened up wider to approx.  8 1/4.  The bracelet weighs approx. 34.6 grams.  Insurance is included in the S&H price.
    I found some information on Worthpoint discussing this maker which stated, "This business was established in 1937 by Jalil Majul Ballesteros in Iguala, Mexico. He had been apprenticed in the art of silversmithing by his grandfather and godfather, and early on, he made jewelry with a filigree look. In 1941 he moved his workshop to Taxco and adopted styles that were more in line with the tourist pieces.  During the 1950s, piecework was farmed out to smaller family workshops in the Taxco area, and the pieces were marked Talleres de los Ballesteros. These pieces were sold in shops throughout the country, including Mexico City and Acapulco. The company also began exporting jewelry in 1952."
