Hand Made Mexican Jewelry

Though Taxco's silver jewelry is known all over the world, Mexican jewelry production is also a thriving folk art in many other Mexican cities. The many localized styles are hard to trace to their precise origin, but have likely been influenced by indigenous, Spanish, Chinese and Moorish traditions. Some of the traditional mestizo designs of crescent shaped (arracanda) silver earrings were popularized by Frida Kahlo in a revived spirit of national pride after the revolution emancipating Mexico from Spain in 1910.

There are so many types of wonderful hand made jewelry from Mexico--beaded bracelets of the Huichol, painted tin, nickel silver (alpaca), painted horn, wood or metal inlaid with abalone, and many styles of fabulous silver jewelry, filigree and other, which differ in design by the location of the artisan.
