Pedro Perez, Plateria Rancho Alegre silver jewelry
2009 May 11
Pedro Perez, former manager of William Spratling’s Taller de Las Delicias, opened Plateria Rancho Alegre in 1956. Rancho Alegre designed, produced and sold its own jewelry and became an outlet for other designers and silversmiths as well — by the 1960s Rancho Alegre had become one of the largest retailers of Mexican silver, with tourists arriving in droves. Plateria Rancho Alegre closed in 1985. Here are several pieces of vintage Rancho Alegre silver now available on eBay. Note that some of the sellers are accepting offers.
