Mexican silver jewelry is everywhere, from the Paris fashion runways to the red carpets of Hollywood. Gone are the days when traditional pieces could only be purchased in antique malls. Today, “Made in Mexico” jewelry is found in high-end boutiques and luxury department stores. Worn by celebrities and fashionistas, Mexican silver jewelry has seen a dramatic resurgence in popularity.
Mexican jewelry can be separated into two basic categories, cultural jewelry which encompasses traditional pieces crafted for the tourist trade and objet d'art jewelry which exhibits the rare rather exotic wearable art designs coveted by sophisticated women.
This is a beautiful artisan crafted ring made In Taxco, Mexico sometime in the 1990s. It is an objet d'art piece.
This artistic composition is dominated by the deep black of the elongated onyx cabochon. Encircling the cabochon, are sterling silver, modernist geometric shapes reminiscent of the rays of the sun. The face of the ring measures a significant 1.5” giving the ring a bold presentation on the hand. Altogether, the design has both an exotic quality and the clean look of contemporary modernism.
It is the perfect gift for a deals woman with discriminating taste.
