This is a beautifully designed and patinated necklace with matching pendant - possibly by Casa Maya of Mexico City. It is signed with most of the word: Mexico. I believe that the script name on the back is the name of the former owner.
The piece is in fine, undamaged condition with good patina.
I have not polished it at all.
