Mexican Silver Jewelry
This Mexican silver jewelry (Mexican Jewellery) showcases Mexican jewelry from the world-renowned silversmithing town of Taxco, Mexico.
Nestled in the hills between Mexico City and Acapulco, Taxco has long been known as a source of 925 silver and later fine Mexican silver jewelry designs. Taxco was one of the earliest historic mining locations in the Americas, so the Mexican silver jewelry (925 jewellery) that emerges from it today stems from a long and illustrious tradition.
As a silver mining town, Taxco was put on the map in the 16th century after the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs. Its reputation for fine silver quickly spread as far as Europe. In the early 20th century the town developed a new reputation as a source of masterful silver jewelry (silver jewellery) design, largely due to the arrival of American entrepreneur William Spratling.
Mr. Spratling instituted an apprentice system to train silversmiths and provide them with an opportunity to develop their skills. Soon the exquisite beauty and craftsmanship of the designs emerging from Taxco were recognised around the world. Gradually more and more silver jewlery artisans founded their own workshops, and the work of these early jewelry artisans continues to inspire a new generation. Today there are hundreds of silversmiths in the town and this handmade silver jewelry features work by some of the best of them. The beautiful handmade silver jewelry featured includes 925 sterling silver bracelets, sterling silver cuff bracelets, solid silver necklace, 925 silver necklace, silver pendant necklaces, silver earings such as sterling silver hoop earrings, silver heart earrings, silver chandelier earrings, sterling silver Band Rings, solid silver ring and more.
