Dominguez specialized in cufflinks, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, pins, and tableware that was highly sculptured. With his wife, Juana, Rafael opened his own Taxco workshop called, Casa Dominguez in 1943 where they sold,”…pleasing designs in jewelry of heavy silver.”
His mark is a simple ‘RD’ inside a circle.
