Vintage Jewelry for Cinco de Mayo

Vintage pre1940 Sterling Leaf Berry Brooch Vintage Mexico Sterling Silver Carved Black Onyx Tribal Ring

Cinco de Mayo Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May, is a holiday held on May 5 that commemorates Mexico's victory, at the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, over the French. Often confused w/Mexico's Independence Day, which is on September 16th (the date, in 1810, that the Mexican War of Independence began), it is primarily a American phenomenon, specifically started in California, and signifies a celebration of pride in Mexican heritage and culture. Whereas Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican victory over the French, Mexico's Independence Day is a celebration of Mexico's freedom from Spanish rule. Mexico is a country of vast heritage and exceptional works of art. Some of the more collected, Mexican items in the vintage marketplace are Sterling Silver Jewelry Mexican Textiles Mexican Pottery Table and Service Ware Vintage Sterling Silver Heart Brooch from Mexico
