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 Peru is listed here. Peru has a history of mining and manufacturing silver that goes back thousands of years, predating the Inca Empire. More examples may be listed under Silver-South American.
