This 'Gleaming Stirrups' necklace by Graeme and Philip Watson is a testament to the enduring legacy of Taxco's silversmithing tradition. The design showcases a series of polished sterling silver links, alternating between sleek, U-shaped forms and elegant bars. Inspired by the equestrian world's classic stirrup shape, the necklace captures a sense of timeless strength and grace. The high-polish finish ensures that each link catches the light with every movement, creating a radiant glow that is both refined and eye-catching. This versatile piece is perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated structure to any neckline.

In the silversmithing capital of Taxco, Graeme and his son Philip have built a family workshop that blends tradition with resilience. Graeme, a master jeweler, crafts sterling silver using time-honored techniques of smelting, shaping, soldering, and hand-polishing, while Philip coordinates communications and business operations. Their journey has not been without challenges — a financial loss once forced them to close their workshop and rebuild from scratch — but their perseverance has shaped their identity. Together, they design jewelry inspired by nature and daily life, always prioritizing elegance and quality. Today, they collaborate with regional artisans who share their passion for Taxco’s silversmithing legacy. Each piece reflects both heritage and renewal, carrying the spirit of father and son who see jewelry as more than adornment, but as a way to preserve a centuries-old craft and bring it to admirers around the world.

Handcrafted in Mexico from 925 sterling silver, this necklace measures 18.3 inches long by 0.6 inches wide, with a 0.4-inch extender. It features a high-polish finish and secures with a lobster claw clasp.
