This ring is a lesson in precision. Every cut was made with a jeweler's saw; every void is an irreversible decision. In openwork, there is no room for error — a mistake scraps the piece. What you see is pure skill: clean lines, perfect symmetry, lightweight that floats on your finger. The geometric motifs echo the prehispanic civilizations that made Taxco a center of power; today, 500 years after the Spanish discovered silver in these mountains, Taxco's artisans inherit that legacy of precision and beauty.

Sterling .950 — purity beyond the standard .925. This hallmarked law speaks of commitment: more pure silver, more specific weight, more value. In Taxco, where jewelry-making tradition is law, .950 is the signature of those who don't compromise on quality. Openwork is an ancestral technique requiring patience and a steady hand.

Taxco has been the silver capital of the world for 500 years. Here, in the mountains of Guerrero, modern Mexican silverwork was born. The Arte Taxco story is part of that saga: every piece that leaves here carries the backing of a millenary craft. This ring is not just a ring — it is Taxco in your hand.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is openwork?
A: A Taxco technique where the design is cut with a jeweler's saw. It's difficult because there's no going back — every cut counts.

Q: Why .950 and not .925?
A: .950 is purer silver. It weighs more, is worth more, and is the standard of Taxco master silversmiths who don't compromise on quality.

Q: Is the ring durable?
A: Yes. Although the openwork has voids, the geometry is calculated to distribute weight. Still, avoid pressing against rough surfaces.
