This ring embodies the soul of Taxco: the Mexican skull, symbol of the duality between life and death, translated into .950 pure silver. Every detail—the marked cheekbones, carved jaw, eye relief—was hand-modeled by artisans in our workshop. This is not industrial casting: this is inherited craft, where the silversmith's hands dialogue with the metal to create volume and truth. The piece is part of our historic collection, recovered from design archives dating to the 1970s and 80s, when Taxco defined the visual language of modern Mexican jewelry.

Unlike common alloys, .950 silver is nearly pure: 95 parts silver to 5 parts copper. This means absolute durability, invariant white color, and genuine investment value. The metal does not fade, does not oxidize easily, and its worth is tangible: when you wear it, you carry real value; when you decide to sell it, it remains authentic silver. It is jewelry that ages beautifully, that can be inherited, that always holds worth.

The skull is more than decoration: it is identity. You wear it as a declaration that you find beauty in the dark, that you embrace the pre-Hispanic and modern at once. It is perfect as a daily ring, as a personal talisman, as a piece that opens conversations. In .950 silver, it is investment with soul. 💀

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the difference between .925 and .950 silver?
A: .950 is 95% pure silver versus 92.5% in .925. More silver = greater durability, whiter color, and more stable value. It is the choice of those who want the best.

Q: Is the skull cast or hand-modeled?
A: Hand-modeled. Taxco artisans carved every volume and detail directly into the metal, not cast from mold. That is why each piece has unique character.

Q: Can you order a different size?
A: Yes. Contact us at hola@artetaxco.mx and we make it custom-fitted in ~2 weeks.
