Taxco Mexico 925 Sterling Silver Hopi-Style Money Clips

Description

925 Sterling Silver Money Clip
Hopi-Style Design
A money clip is a clip designed to hold bank notes, it is used instead of a wallet.
These money clips were made in Taxco in Mexico from 925 Sterling Silver. Taxco is world famous for its Silverwork. Sterling Silver means that it is 92.5% silver, that is why it is stamped 925.
The clips are in the Hopi style. The Hopi are an indian tribe in the southwest of the USA. These money clips weren't made by Hopi indians, they were made in Mexico using Hopi techniques. This process, known as overlay, involves cutting out the designs on a silver sheet. This sheet is then placed on another silver sheet & soldered together. The silver on the bottom sheet has been oxydized to make it black. The top sheet is polished. The designs are easily visible because of the contrast between the black & silver colors.
The designs on the money clips are traditional indian designs.
