turquoise colored eyes, though it's unclear if they're stone or faux
solid sterling silver and missing the original Taxco bail and tag

in good vintage condition

turquoise colored eyes have a dull surface, not a high polish
it's missing its original bail and tag that would have attributed its origin to Taxco
