This ring carries the Aztec Calendar, the most iconic symbol of pre-Columbian cosmology. Every line, every glyph, every crown of sun rays was hand-hammered with steel punches — no presses, no machines — a craft requiring precision, patience, and years of mastery. The .950 silver (purer than .925) delivers a mirror finish that brings every relief detail to life.

Repousse is a Taxco technique with roots stretching back centuries. The craftsman works from the reverse, shaping the front with calculated hammer blows. No two pieces are identical: every strike is a decision, every reflection distinct. The hand-repousse craft demands hours per ring and is one of Taxco's arts at risk of vanishing.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silver — 500 years of tradition since silver was discovered in Guerrero's mountains. This ring, forged in Taxco, carries that heritage. The Arte Taxco story is the story of silvercraft that lives in every piece from our workshops.
