Salvador Terán began his career with his cousins from the Los Castillos dynasty of jewelers at the Taxco art school, in the Las Delicias workshop, where they traditionally worked on silver.
Maestro Teran gravitated towards large forms and traditionally preferred to make mosaic panels, crockery sets with inserts of semi-precious stones, caskets and other decorative items. His products are extraordinary and instantly recognizable, covered with a touch of mysticism and surrealism.
A single jewelry collection was created by Salvador Teran in the middle of the last century.
Jewelry from this collection is made of bijouterie alloy based on brass with gilding, decorated with ceramic inserts. The order for the development of the collection was received by the jeweler from the most fashionable department store Mabel in Mexico City at that time.
Pre-Columbian symbols and artistic motifs of the indigenous population of Mexico, the Aztec Indians and Maya, are intertwined in these rare jewelry pieces with the high fashion chic of the mid-century modern* period.
Salvador’s modernist interpretations were so talented and unique that his pieces, which excelled in design and craftsmanship, became very popular with jewelry connoisseurs.
Inserts made of ceramics of a rich shade of blue, made as an imitation of lapis lazuli.
