About Mexicana Silver Jewellery

An introduction to Mexicana Silver Jewellery by Richard Wethered, Founder.

Mexicana Silver Jewellery was established in April 1999 and has proven immensely popular with thousands of delighted customers. The intention then, as it remains today, is to offer high quality pieces, diversity of design and the sheer originality of genuine hand-originated pieces of Mexican silver jewellery as well as silver jewellery and silver jewellery with semiprecious gemstones from and around the world. (Click here to visit our 'Taxco' page to learn about the history of the Mexican silver industry).

As a mail order company presenting our collection exclusively on the internet we simply don't have to cover the high costs of a printed catalogue or the high rents of 'high' street jewellers. The combination of these factors allows us to pass on the savings to you, our customer, and offer fantastic value for money and allows us to deal directly with a range of suppliers, from the very big and, crucially, the very small, independent silversmiths and artisans. In contrast to printed catalogue companies, we are not restricted by two important factors.

Firstly, a printed catalogue is permanent, the only way to change the collection is to print a new one - which is very expensive. Secondly, if you are going to spend all that money on printing a catalogue you need to be very sure that you are going to sell lots and lots of each piece that you show so you can only deal with large manufacturers who churn out hundreds and hundreds of identical pieces. We, on the other hand, and now you, have the freedom to choose pieces from smaller suppliers with unique and original jewellery designs.

We are constantly reminded by our delighted customers that, while we make a considerable effort to display our collection favourably, the photos rarely do the 'real thing' justice. If you have any questions about any of our products or ordering from us you should find the answers on our Ordering page, however we will gladly answer any questions you may have so please feel free to contact us by email - sales@mexicanasilver.uk or call our help line on 0845 00 90 900. 

We sincerely appreciate your interest in Mexicana Silver jewellery. We hope that you will find this website clear and easy to use and that you will find something that's right for you.
