Authentic sterling .925, hallmarked. Cartonné is a little-known technique outside Guerrero, but it's one of the pillars of Taxco's silversmithing heritage.

It's solid, durable design made without industrial presses—the artisan's hand shapes every angle. The craftsmanship of Taxco is your guarantee of authenticity.
