For most people in Mexico and many people around the world, the word silver is most associated with the hillside city of Taxco (pronounced tahs-ko). Perched along the mountainside at 5,000 feet, Taxco de Alarcón, as it's officially known, offers incredible views from almost any location. For the traveler there are the narrow and often hidden cobblestone streets and alleys, full of eateries and lodgings.  Since the mid 1700s, silver mines have been in operation (although only one is open today).  Taxco is the world's capital of silver, with over 200 shops and dozens of renowned silver jewelers.  Shoppers from all over Mexico and tourists alike, go there to see the greatest quantity and variety of silver objects.

Set down your luggage; you needn’t go to Mexico to get Taxco jewelry.  ZuluMoon offers a selection of Taxco jewelry on their site!  My favorites, among them, are this charming little Sterling Silver Enamel Kitty Cat Pin and this Handmade Horse Bracelet.  Read the product descriptions for each one; I think you will really appreciate the artisan pride and quality craftsmanship that is put into each piece.
