All jewelry from Mexico is distinctive
and recognized for its great richness of design; some is inspired
by Pre Columbian pieces that have been discovered through archaeological

Mexican jewelry shows much variety.
Light, airy gold pieces have Meso American influence. Delicate
pieces, especially silver, reflect Indian heritage; lacy pendant
designs are Colonial period; heavier gold jeweled settings are
18th century Spanish though the stones are typically New World.
Another distinctive feature of Mexican jewelry are the necklace
chains; they are uniquely conservative yet graceful in design. |
|
Mexico has many mineral mines
with the consequence that jewelry is produced throughout the
country so see individual state pages for additional jewelry
from Mazahua,
Guerrero, Taxco, Guanajuato, Oaxaca, Yucatan,
Guanajuato and Chiapas. Silver
pieces are Sterling; gold is 18k (also in 22K, 14k and 12k). |
