A ring that plays with light through volume. Cartoneado is Taxco's least-known technique: silver sheets folded and weighted to create three-dimensional forms that catch brightness from every angle. Without a stone, the protagonist is pure silver — .950, higher than standard — and the craftsmanship that sculpts every curve.

.950 silver with its .925 hallmark: a step beyond authenticity. This purity is for collectors, sought by those who understand the value of unadulterated silver. Real weight of 8 grams: substance in your hand, presence on your finger. The cartoneado technique is heir to Taxco's 500-year silversmithing tradition, refining how to make silver speak without stones. The Arte Taxco story is the story of those hands perfecting this craft generation after generation.
