If so, then you must visit Taxco, a small town couple of hours away from the tourist hot spot of Acapulco, in the state of Guerrero, state of Mexico. There, local talented artisans hand make gorgeous silver jewelry sometimes with unique personal designs.
In case you aren’t planning to visit Mexico this year but still want to buy genuine sterling silver (sterling silver is a piece of jewelry that is entirely made of silver, not silver plated) my advice to you is to look only for the stamp with the type of silver composition and the country of origin: “.925 MEXICO”. This way you’ll make sure is genuine sterling.

Have fun shopping and don’t forget to send me pictures of your beautiful silver jewelry acquisitions!
