This bangle is the pure expression of cartoneado — a technique so characteristic of Taxco that it's barely known outside Guerrero. Unlike a common bangle, cartoneado creates three-dimensional volume with carefully worked silver sheets. Each facet is a deliberate choice by the silversmith. The result is a piece that plays with light from every angle — geometric and contemporary all at once. It opens on one side for easy wear, with an inner diameter of 6.4 cm that fits most wrists.

Authentic sterling .925 silver with its hallmark — the guarantee seal of purity. Cartoneado is a Taxco silversmithing technique that demands precision and patience: silver sheets must be soldered without losing their shape, keeping each edge clean. It's not casting or stamping — it's manual labor, sheet after sheet.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is woven into that tradition — every piece from here is the inheritance of five centuries of mastery. Cartoneado, in particular, is one of those techniques that only Taxco silversmiths truly master. This is your chance to wear that craftsmanship on your wrist.
