Mexican Sterling Apple Earrings

These are the most darling marked silver apple earrings from Mexico- that's the extent of my knowledge on the pair. Which truely is a shame because the topic of vintage silver jewelry and silver in general is fascinating.

I have to admit my knowledge on silver hallmarks overall is lacking. I probably wouldn't know the difference between a Spratling and something purchased at the mall. I could buy a guide to silver jewelry- but I tend to do most of my research online. There are resources to silver identification online that will help you identify silver- one I like to frequent is the Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks.
