Mexican Silver
As a result of its multitude of silver ore deposits, Mexico has become a cultural center of
silversmithing and jewelry design stretching back to pre-colonial times. During the 1930s and up
through the '50s artists communities cropped up throughout Mexico. Silver jewelry was among the most
influential works to come out of these artist colonies. Today William Spratling and Margot de Taxco,
who were associated with this movement, are highly revered by jewelry and silver collectors.
Taxco Silver
Three miles outside of Mexico City, Taxco has become a destination for tourists and the center of
the silver industry. Often called “Silver City,” Taxco with its rolling hills and ancient
cathedrals, has over 16,000 silver shops that line the tiny main plaza, Plaza Borda.
Taxco’s history is steeped in the tradition of silver mining since the time of Cortes and is one of
the largest silver producers in the world.
The Mexican government has declared Taxco a national monument and has taken great efforts to be sure
that the colonial atmosphere is preserved.
