Taxco Silver Jewelry History

Artisans from Taxco make marvelous creations from silver.  You can find jewelry, bowls, flower jars, sculptures, table utensils and other creations in the markets, stores, and with street sellers.   Recognized world-wide for its originality and link to Mexican culture.

The original designs had an elaborate colonial baroque and art nouveau (modern) style. In the beginning of the XX century the silver artist from New York, William Spratling, influenced the town in a huge manner.  Spratling was contemporary and friend of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.   He moved to Taxco and started a business using the silver from the local mines selling his creations to the US and other parts of the world.  As his business grew he created a silversmith school which started the rich tradition passed from generation to generation.
