~ Locket Stamps: Very worn, but I looked at every lit angle with various high mag loupes and could make out a faint Taxco & a delineated Eagle 3 Taxco assay mark. The “Delineated” Eagle is more detailed and was used earlier than the “Silhouette” Eagle which is flatter with fewer details.

~ Substantial Chain: 3mm Ball Link stamped 925 Italy SI which weighs 18.3 grams; Comes with a Lobster clasp Extension chain which is removable, so 14.5” and 18.5” are the two wearable lengths. Great chain which may be worn with other pendants of course.
