In Taxco, repoussage is a craft of generations. This ring carries pre-Hispanic skulls, symbols of the duality between life and death in Aztec cosmology, hand-hammered from the back with steel punches. Every blow is a deliberate choice by the artisan — no two rings are identical. The dark patina you see is intentional: it contrasts the polished metal with shadows in the relief, giving depth and presence.

Authentic sterling .925, hallmarked MEXICO on the inner band. The weight (4.9 g) reflects the solid form, built to last. Though stoneless, the repoussé IS the work: hours of hammering that transform a flat sheet into a vessel of visual narrative.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silverwork for 500 years. Since Bartolomé de Medina founded the city in the 16th century, Guerrero's silversmiths perfected techniques still thriving today — repoussé, filigree, pierced work. This piece carries forward that tradition: it is Taxco in your hand, a link to five centuries of mastery.
