Freshwater cultured pearls


Freshwater cultured pearls have always been the preferred choice of many women. Freshwater cultured pearls are now available in high lustrous quality and at much affordable prices than ever before. Freshwater cultured pearls are one of the most beautiful and magical gems on this earth.

Some jewelry styles are timeless and Mexican silver jewelry is one of them. Fashionable with a modernistic flair, this jewelry has been popular since the 1940's and some of the older pieces can be quite valuable. Today silver Mexican made jewelry is enjoying a revival due to the stunning and innovative designs.

Mexico has some of the richest silver deposits in the world so it stands to reason that sterling silver jewelry would be made by artisans there. These deposits have been in there for centuries, however the Mayans and Aztecs cared little for them so it wasn't until Europeans arrived in the 16th century that they were tapped into. Today silver jewelry is one of Mexico's biggest exports.

Mexican silver jewelry designs are influenced by many things. Native religions along with Christian influence abounds in these stylish pieces which often combine semi precious gemstones such as onyx, amethyst, malachite and turquoise as well as shell such as mother of pearl and abalone.

Vintage Mexican jewelry pieces are often just stamped with the eagle assay mark and, if you are lucky, the makers initials. However, there were some craftspeople like Los Castillo, Margot De Taxco and William Spratling whose work is well marked and is highly prized today.

Today, you might find Mexican jewelry marked simply with the "Hecho en Mexico" mark which stands for Made in Mexico and rarely with a craftsman name. Make no mistake about it, although this jewelry is not made in the US it is some of the finest quality silver jewelry on the market today.
