This Composite Turquoise and Taxco Silver Pendant Necklace 'Taxco Legend' by Guillermo Arregui is crafted of Mexico's legendary Taxco silver. Richly veined composite turquoise is framed by slender strands of sterling silver. For the artisan, jewelry is inseparable from life’s experiences, and each design carries a story, a fragment of his travels, and the traditions of Mexican silver. The piece embodies both personal expression and a legacy of shared artistry.
Born in Jaén, Spain, this artisan discovered his calling after years of travel across Europe, where encounters with people, landscapes, and cultures shaped his creative vision. Settling in Mexico in the mid-1980s, he apprenticed in a silversmith’s workshop in Taxco, a town renowned for its metalwork. What began as chance soon became a lifelong passion. Cutting his own stones and designing each piece by hand, he favors turquoise and other natural gems that reflect the vibrancy of his adopted home. Over decades, he has built a workshop that trains and employs local artisans, ensuring both stability and creative growth for his team. For him, jewelry is inseparable from life’s experiences: each design carries a story, a fragment of his travels, and the traditions of Mexican silver. His work embodies both personal expression and a legacy of shared artistry.
