Mexicans like other peoples and cultures across the world have been making jewellery for centuries. They have utilised natural raw materials that they had to hand and this gives Mexican jewellery a unique style and appeal all its own. The market for Mexican silver heart pendants is constantly growing.

If you are undecided about what type of jewellery gift to give your loved one you really can’t go wrong with a pendant and with the range on the market, there is sure to be a style to suit everyone’s taste. Pendants are very personal and say a lot about the wearer; indeed, they can also be worn to make a statement in a blatantly obvious or subtler way.

Native Mexicans have been crafting jewellery by hand since the Spaniards taught them. Mexican silversmiths
are sought after for their excellent craftsmanship and knowledge of silver and their unique and interesting designs. One of the most famous towns in Mexico to buy jewellery was Taxco, and items from here are highly prized today.

Sterling silver jewellery from Mexico is generally stamped with the hallmark “925Mex”, it may also have an eagle mark, but sometimes this can be hard to decipher. Always make sure when you are buying jewellery that it is hallmarked appropriately. Heart pendants are always a popular choice and vary in size and style. In addition to making heart pendants in silver the Mexicans branched out and used other materials. Pendants were also created with forget-me-not flowers on a coloured background.
