Circa 1960 Salvador Teran Mayan Gold Collection Collar Necklace
The gods of ancient Mexico, rendered in gold.
This is a piece of living history. Circa 1960, this rare and highly collectible Salvador Teran Mayan Gold collar necklace is a testament to the genius of Mexico's most celebrated mid-century jeweler. A magnificent Mayan mask — cast in 22kt gold-filled metal with the weight and presence of an ancient artifact — anchors this extraordinary collar, its expression timeless and commanding across the centuries.
The hallmark on the reverse, softened by decades of time, tells its own story — this is a piece that has lived, that carries history in its very metal. Salvador Teran pieces from this era are among the most sought-after in the world of vintage Mexican jewelry, and this Mayan Gold Collection necklace is a crown jewel of that legacy.
