DescriptionRound silver pin, the center with geometric silver wire dividers separating a mottled turquoise. Five silver teardrops inlaid with turquoise dangle from the bottom. Around the border of the pin is an edging of silver wire in a small, rounded petal-like motif, with a narrow twisted piece of brass wire between the round center and the "petals." On the back is a pin with clasp, and at the top a loop for conversion to a necklace pendant. Below the pin is stamped "LDRYLE (unreadable) 92.5 Mexico" within a circle, and a small, round cornered triangular form with a 3 above two small dashes in the lower corners.
