Vintage Salvador Teran Jewelry | Abstract Bird Cufflinks 171 Mexico

Salvador Teran Modernist Bird Cufflinks in Sterling Silver

These dynamic vintage cufflinks by Salvador Teran feature bold abstract bird motifs, rendered in dimensional sterling silver forms that rise sharply from a darkened oxidized background. Likely crafted between 1955 and 1970, these sculptural pieces reflect Teran’s signature blend of modernism and pre-Columbian inspiration. The bird forms appear mid-flight, their stylized silhouettes radiating energy and motion. Fully hallmarked with Salvador’s maker’s mark, eagle 36 assay, and model number 171, these rare cufflinks are part of the legacy that positioned Teran as one of the leading voices of Mexican modernist jewelry design. A brooch with this design is documented in Mexican Silver, Penny C. Morrill and Carole A. Berk, Schiffer Publishing, 2007.
