Some information on Mexican Modernist style silver from the jasper52 site, "Beginning in the 1930s, silver workshops clustered in the mining town of Taxco spearheaded a revival in this traditional Craft in Mexico. At the same time, the artists and artisans working there took a new direction in design that mixed age-old motifs from native cultures with 20th century Modernism. The objects and jewelry they produced have become extremely popular with discerning collectors. Each piece provides a hands-on aesthetic appeal when used or worn. In other words, this silver makes daily life a little more beautiful.".
