This rigid bangle combines the commanding presence of a silver cuff with the pre-Columbian iconography Taxco is known for. Repousse — the ancient technique where the silversmith strikes each punch from the back, never seeing the front until it's finished — creates a deep relief in the central face, giving it dimension and character. No two are alike: each piece bears the artisan's decisions made one hammer strike at a time. Perfect for those seeking substantial, handcrafted adornment rooted in five centuries of craft.

Sterling .925 silver, marked with the official hallmark that certifies its purity. The repousse work from Taxco demands precision and experience — the artisan must calculate depth and angle with every punch while working blind. The result is a presence that only handwork can create.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of silver craftsmanship. This bangle inherits that lineage directly: in its pre-Hispanic lines live both the precision of ancient goldsmiths and the mastery of five centuries of continuous tradition. The Arte Taxco story is the story of keeping that craft alive. Every piece that leaves our workshops is an act of continuity.
