Mexican silver jewelry Alpaca Mexico includes Spanish motifs and Native American designs. Most Mexican silverware was made by copying jewelry found during archaeological excavations.
Mexico had its own system of marking silver products: they were marked with symbols, numbers, images.
Their jewelry alloy is similar to silver and plated with real 925 sterling silver. This combination gives the product strength and shine. They also made jewelry such as belt brooches with real insects such as scorpions.
South American craftsmen incorporated semi-precious stones, turquoise and abalone shells into their alpaca silver jewelry. Antique items were made by hand.
