Silver-Mexican

Silver is listed by material, such as coin, plate, or sterling; by some major manufacturers, such as Tiffany; by the type of item, such as candlesticks, jewelry, and napkin rings; or by country of origin. Countries throughout the world have their own unique silver styles, traditions, and marks. Silver from Mexico is listed here. Silver has been mined in Mexico since the Aztecs. Taxco, a city in southwest Mexico, is famous for its silver, and especially for the works of twentieth-century designers following William Spratling. For more information, explore our identification guides for silver, Mexican silversmiths and jewelry, and twentieth-century metal designers.
