Silver jewelry made in Mexico prior to 1948 is termed “Pre-Eagle”. Silver workers and jewelry makers in Mexico put an intense amount of thought, creativity, and effort into their work, and are fiercely proud of what they produce.

As a silver mining town, Taxco was put on the map in the 16th century after the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs. Its reputation for fine silver quickly spread as far as Europe. In the early 20th century the town developed a new reputation as a source of masterful silver jewelry (silver jewellery) design, largely due to the arrival of American entrepreneur William Spratling.

As many Mexican jewelry makers do not sign their work, or use only initials, the designation “Taxco” is often treated as a hallmark of quality.
