This Purple Titanium and Sterling Silver Necklace from Mexico 'Dragon Betta Fin' by Independent Artisans is a unique piece that beautifully captures the essence of a dragon betta fish's graceful form and rich color. Mexican artisan Diana Solis expertly hand-sculpts the plum-purple pendant from a sheet of titanium, showcasing a modern design with a unique texture. Suspended on a classic curb link chain of sterling silver, this necklace is a striking example of modern artistry rooted in the rich tradition of Mexican silversmithing. It’s an ideal accessory for someone who appreciates bold, creative expression and a blend of tradition with contemporary style.
Passionate and exacting in her craft, Carmen is a silversmith whose artistry reflects both heritage and innovation. One of nine children, she was first introduced to jewelry-making by her father, a silversmith whose guidance instilled discipline and respect for the craft. After years apprenticing in workshops and developing her own style, she founded her studio in 2006, assembling a family-led team to carry forward her parents’ legacy. Carmen’s jewelry is known for its impeccable quality, with each piece handcrafted using techniques such as filigree, lost-wax casting, texturizing, and alloying her own silver strands. Her inspiration flows from both imagination and tradition, resulting in designs that are elegant, unique, and rooted in cultural identity. Beyond creating her own collections, she teaches relatives and community artisans, ensuring that silversmithing remains alive for new generations. Guided by her motto — “Keep tradition alive, but modernize for the young” — her work honors the past while embracing the future.
Handcrafted from .925 sterling silver and titanium, this necklace has a 19.8-inch L, 2 mm W curb link chain with a 2-inch L x 2-inch W pendant. It features a spring ring clasp and a high-polish finish.
