This bracelet is a great example of jewelry produced in the 1930’s for the tourist trade in Mexico. Fred Davis was the first to produce silver jewelry in Mexico City for the tourist trade. He utilized native stones and silver in his jewelry and frequently incorporated pre-Columbian motifs in his designs. This was revolutionary at the time as most jewelry produced prior to the 1930’s was gold and modeled on European design. The silversmith who created this bracelet was definitely influenced by Fred Davis and might have been employed to create jewelry in his studio.
