Mayan jewelry can be made out of many different types of materials, just as any other jewelry. Some examples are gold, platinum, titanium, ivory, clay, wood, beads, silver etc.

My favorite material for Mayan Jewelry is sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent fine silver. The reason designers use sterling silver is because pure silver is too soft a metal, and wouldn't last any extended period of time, whereas sterling silver adds in other high quality metals to increase its strength and other things like reduce tarnishing.
