The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Mexican modernist silver jewellery developed predominantly in Taxco during the mid-20th century, characterised by architectural metalwork, sterling silver construction, and the inclusion of native gemstones.

These pieces are crafted using sterling silver, frequently stamped with purity marks such as 925, alongside natural polished amethyst cabochons.

Authentic items feature maker stamps, silver assay marks, TAXCO location indicators, and hand-finished bezel settings around the stones.

A modernist silver pin can be worn on coat lapels, collared shirts, or heavy knitwear, and can also be displayed in shadow boxes as art objects.

Clean silver using a soft microfibre cloth, avoid dipping solutions that can damage natural gemstones, and store in a dry, soft-lined jewellery box.
