For the record, you may have meant "GERMAN SILVER" instead of Mexican. All the 
Mexican silver I have ever seen or handled is good! Much of it is marked 
'TAXCO' which is a city in Mexico where silver production began in the 
1500/1600's. 
Further, the addition of nickel metal to harden the alloy may be the source of 
the allergic reaction. Regards, Al....

  I did not know that.  That explains a couple of mysteries.  Thanks for 
mentioning.  MA
