An intriguing combination of legend and fact the history of silver in Taxco is a story worth knowing. Originally Cortes himself opened the mines in the hills of Taxco after discovering that the Aztecs had been using silver for barter for centuries. In 1716 silver was re-discovered in Taxco by Don Jose del le Borda, when as legend has it, he was riding in the hills above Taxco and spotted a rich silver vein from the back of his horse. He became very wealthy as a result during a time when silver was worth almost as much as gold and in gratitude to the area built schools, roads and houses for the township.
His most famous contribution to the area is the Santa Prisca Cathedral, built in the Spanish Baroque style which can be seen from anywhere in Taxco as it glistens in the sunlight.Mexico’s war for Independence during the 19th century saw many of the mines destroyed as the Spanish barons fought to prevent them being lost to the revolutionaries. It wasn’t until a chance comment was made to William Spratling, a US citizen and architectural professor who came to the area in the late 1920’s to study Mexico and its culture that Taxco future potential as the world silver capital was realised.
Apparently the US Ambassador commented to Mr Spratling that Taxco had once been the site of seemingly bottomless silver mines for centuries but had not ever been considered a location where jewellery and object of silver where designed and made. This got William Spratling thinking and he set about finding and nurturing the potential talent in the locals and motivating the artisans in the Taxco area to rediscover the craft of silversmithing.Using his own designs he created an apprentice-based training system, training the artistic young and eager people of Taxco and giving them the opportunity to develop their skill as artists and silversmiths.
Within just a few years the quality and beauty of the silver workmanship coming out of the Taxco area gained worldwide recognition for Mexico and other cities where silver was mined soon followed suit.Williams first apprentices are now considered the old masters of Mexican Silver and Antonio Pineda, Hector Aguilar, Margot de Taxco, the Castillos, Ledesma and Chino Ruiz have produced and continue to craft some of the most highly prized and collectible pieces. Mr Spratling became known as “The Father of Mexican Silver” before his death in 1967 in a car accident and a silver bust of Mr Spratling resides in the towns museum to commemorate his contribution to Mexico and the town of Taxco.Every November Taxco holds it world famous ‘Silver Fair’ called ‘Feria Nacional de la Plata’ where craftsmen, artisans and silversmiths show their work and compete to win the prized award of ‘Best Silver Artist of the Fair.’
The local senorita’s also vie for the title of, “Queen of the Silver Fair” and the fair is celebrated with fireworks, concerts, dances and exhibits.Taxco which is pronounced Tahs-ko, itself is located in the hills between Acapulco and Mexico City and is a city with a natural ambiance and charm with its red-tiled roofs, narrow, cobblestone streets that wind up and down the hills of Taxco. These streets are a bustling hive of activity during the day with street merchants, taxi’s and shoppers all vying for space. Over 16,000 silver shops line the tiny Plasa Borda, all streets lead to this, the main plaza in Taxco where bartering is an exciting adventure.
Silver jewellery of every design can be seen in this tiny plaza and exquisite rings, necklaces, bracelets and bangles can be seen flashing in the sun and artfully draped over black clothes to test even the greatest willpower. For those looking for silver it is a Mecca and no-one can help coming back to their accommodation without snagging a bargain or two.
Mexico has three cities where silver jewellery is manufactured; Mexico City itself, Guadalajara and Taxco. Taxco is known s “The Silver Capital of the World.”Mexican silver jewellery so prized around the world for a number of reasons:
As the biggest silver producer in the world today, it is easy to obtain pure silver and most silver jewellery coming out of Mexico is made of sterling silver or 925 silver. Other countries more notably some of the Asian countries tend to dilute their silver to make it go further and it is common to find jewellery at .800 silver content.
Most pieces are hand finished by artisans called silversmiths who hand down their craft through traditional apprenticeships and along with an education these apprentices are given a passion and a love for their art.
Mexican jewellery can be found in every corner of the world and retains its value over the years because of its quality and unmistakable style.

Gorgeous silver jewellery has encircled necks, armsm, wrists and fingers throughout history. It has been made into statues, ingots and decorated clothing and armour, been used for trade, and indicated high rank or royalty for thousands of years. Nowdays, it is seen dripping languidly from the bodies of todays royalty; rap stars, rock stars, movie stars and even sports stars. Silver’s story is as old as time and as new as the latest additions to the jewellery shop windows.
Silver: called argentum in the periodic table has an atomic number of 47 which means it is the 47th element on the periodic table and carries 47 electrons. It has a hardness rated between 2.5 and 2.7 and is therefore one of the most malleable of all metals. Silver is a white, lustrous metal prized for its purity and formability and because it can achieve the most brilliant polish of any metal.
The first major source of mined silver, is generally considered to be Turkey which served as the main source of silver for the near East, Crete and Greece. The early Egyptians used silver in their religious ceremonies and to create their articles of worship and it was considered even more precious than gold.
A concentrated effort to mine silver really began around 3000B.C. and the first sophisticated processing of the mined ore has been attributed to the Chaldeans at around 2500B.C. After the destruction of the Minoan empire in 1600B.C. the mines of Laurium, near Athens became the leading producers of mined silver. These mines proved to be highly productive, and for approximately 1000 years the Laurium mines were the largest source of silver in the known world.
The end of the monopoly of the Laurium mines saw the Romans come to the fore and mines in Spain and throughout Europe and Italy were pressed to meet the growing trading needs of Greece and Asia Minor. When the Moors invaded Spain and took control, it became necessary for the mining of silver to be expanded to more countries, mainly in central Europe and several new large deposits were discovered between 720 and 1200 A.D. But the real expansion in the production of silver occurred in a 500 year period between 100-1500A.D, when new developments were made in the mining and processing of silver particularly the development of the ‘mercury amalgamation method’.
This process enabled more silver to be taken from the ore and so silver production around the world increase exponentially during this time through discovery and better refining methods.
Even more significant was the discovery of seemingly almost infinite deposits of silver in the New World, and the first of these was in the Potosi District of Bolivia. At the same time major deposits were also found and mined in Mexico with the bulk of mining occurring between 1700 to 1800A.D.
For over 300 years, from 1500A.D. to 1800A.D. Mexico, Boliva and Peru accounted for over 85% of the world production of silver and trade, with the remaining portion obtained mainly from Germany, Hungary and Russia. From 1850, other countries like the US increased production and silver production increased again worldwide.

Silver can be hammered into sheets so thin that it would take 100,000 of them to stack 2.5 centimetres high.

Silver is known is also a part of the ancient chakra system of the Hindi’s and associated with the 6th chakra or 3rd Eye seen as the bridge between the human and the divine. This chakra is compared to empty space, free form a place of purity and unity, the site of bliss.
Silver’s medical history: a silver coin was often dropped into a jug of milk to help prevent it from souring, in Vedic medicine silver water was known to cleanse the liver and spleen. More recently until sometime in the 1930’s silver compounds were used as a normal part of medicine, with silver nitrate being the main compound used. Silver Iodide was even used immediately at birth in babies eyes to prevent infections that resulted in blindness. We can find Colloidal Silver in use even today as a natural remedy for infections and many swear by it.
