This is a bracelet which both looks and feels amazing on. It's silky smooth, with a very luxurious feel. ...

An intriguing contributor to Mexico's 20th c. Silver Renaissance, Taller Taxco is a workshop that, as far as my experience goes, created jewelry that were solely based on Salvador Teran's designs.

Whichever the case might be, the curved lozenge earrings presented here, based on Salvador o...
