I think the reason I really dislike it is because the seller is LYING - plain and simple. Why cant they just say its well made from the Taxco school?

OK so I just acquired a fabulous necklace - that I paid way too much for but evidently I had to have it.
That will be the next post - see you then!!
I always have to look at the MARKINGS -
