Silversmithing in Mexico is an art that has been painstakingly developed from generation to generation, creating stunning art pieces that have been molded by hand. Our jewelry carries a stellar reputation of family history, expertise passed down from master to apprentice, and shaped by years of working side by side in the same workshops. To create such beautiful pieces, from simple to complex designs, the artisans use a combination of an exacting artist’s eye, accurate force, and skillful dexterity. The process usually involves having the skills for preparing alloys, making sheets, wires and beads, forging, hammering, soldering, oxidizing and buffing.

You will find that our jewelry uphold not only quality and beauty, but the legacies of multigenerational families of Mayan ancestry. Contact us with any questions about our jewelry.
