🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES

The mosaic inlay cabochon technique was widely used in Mexican jewelry from the 1970s–1990s, often associated with Taxco workshops, though similar designs were also produced in Peru and India.

Use of coral, garnet/glass, and gold-leaf stone inlay is characteristic of this style.
