 Mata Ortiz Jewelry

INTRODUCING THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS

Taxco is the center of the sterling silver jewelry industry in Mexico.

Mata Ortiz is the center of the fine ceramic industry in Mexico.

Blend the two, and you have one-of-a-kind pieces jewelry.

What do most of us do when something breaks? We throw it away. Luckily, this is not always the case with 20% of the broken pots of Mata Ortiz. Some are mailed 1,500 miles southeast to Taxco, Guerrero, 2 hours south of Mexico City and 1 ½ hours north of Acapulco. There, they are given new life in Taxco – the silver capital of Mexico.
