What is special about Taxco silver?
Taxco is a small city in Mexico in the moutains of Guerrero and famous for producing some of the finest handmade silver jewellery in the world and is often referred to as 'The Silver Capital of the World."
Taxco jewelry often includes a letter and number government registration system to determine its age. This system, introduced in the 1970s, consists of two letters followed by a number, with the first letter denoting the workshop’s location (T for Taxco, M for Mexico City).
The second letter denotes the artist’s first or last initial. This number tells how many people have registered with that letter combination. With this system, collectors can narrow the age of Taxco jewelry to a small time range.
Taxco jewelry stands as a testament to the rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans who call this picturesque town their home. By decoding this system, we can unravel the mysteries surrounding the age of Taxco jewelry, gaining a deeper appreciation for these timeless treasures.
