The collectible appeal of Mexican metal art can be attributed to artistic quality variety and large production volume. In addition to jewelry it includes wearable art table art and wall art with something for everyone. See Mexican jewelry and metal art made with copper brass alpaca and silver. From glass mosaics on brass to silver jewelry inlaid with crushed stone to metal combinations such as metales casados the variety in color texture and form is wonderful. While other books have made significant contributions to raising awareness of Mexico-designed silver jewelry little has been written about other metal objects often made by the very same designers such as Salvador Teran Los Castillos Miguel Martinez Miguel Pineda Estele Popowski and Bernice Goodspeed.
