Mexican silver became really popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Many Mexican silver artisans achieved prominence and are now highly collectible. Scandinavian silver and Native American silver jewelry was popular as well. Jewelry styles reflected more primitive and ethnic influence during time. Carved wood pins, bakelite and lucite pins were all the rage. Beaded necklaces from German and Japanese imports were plentiful.
