Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between .925 and .950 silver?
A: .950 is 95% pure silver; .925 is 92.5%. The .950 is softer, nobler, and retains value better long-term. It's the premium standard.

Q: Can I order a different size?
A: Yes. Email hola@artetaxco.mx with your measurement or ring size, and we'll custom-make it in ~2 weeks.

Q: Does the carving wear away with use?
R: No. The relief is deeply hand-carved. Occasional polishing keeps it bright, but the design is permanent.
