The modern leaf motifs are rendered with the precision and hand-finishing that Taxco's \u003cem\u003eplateros\u003c\/em\u003e have practiced for over 250 years — each leaf contoured, each edge finished by hand. The result is a bracelet that reads as current and wears as an heirloom. At 85 grams, it has genuine weight. It announces itself when it lands on a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Taxco silver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaxco de Alarcón, in the mountains of Guerrero, has been Mexico's silver capital since the 18th century. The silversmithing families there still hand-finish every piece — there is no Taxco assembly line, no mass-production shortcut. The leaf bracelet is a contemporary expression of that tradition: modern in its geometry, traditional in its execution, unmistakably Taxco in its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver from Taxco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaf motifs, modern sculptural style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-finished Taxco silverwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Statement bracelet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 85 g \/ 3.0 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it alone — this bracelet is a standalone statement and does not need company.
