Malachite bangle
SKU: 943-49620
Sterling silver Vintage "Taxco" Modernist bangle with malachite circles (Mexico, #TM-88). Taxco Mexican silver jewelry is world-famous for its high quality, bold artistic designs, and rich silversmithing heritage. Originating from the mountain town of Taxco, Mexico, this jewelry became a global phenomenon in the 1930s during the "Mexican Silver Renaissance". An American associate professor named William Spratling established a silversmithing workshop called Taller de las Delicias. He trained local artisans to combine ancient Aztec motifs with contemporary Art Deco styles. This created a thriving industry that still supports over 10,000 silversmiths in the city today.
