    Oro de Monte Albán

    This firm's metalsmiths craft beautifully worked jewelry in gold, silver and semiprecious stones, including copies of pre-Hispanic jewelry and pieces inspired by colonial-era designs. The interesting free workshop tour (in Spanish) at the Gurrión branch includes a demonstration of the pre-Hispanic lost-wax casting technique. Other branches are along Alcalá.
