Story Behind the Art:
'I'm Angel Ortiz from Mexico where the legendary Taxco silver is mined. My love for the art of creating silver jewelry is a family inheritance, chiefly from my mother. I mostly work with silver but, since 2014, I've been experimenting with other metals like copper, tin, alpaca and tumbaga, a gold and copper alloy developed in pre-Hispanic times. I also use gems, crystals, seeds, leather, synthetic leather, rubber, cords and suede. Being an artisan is very exciting and motivational for me. I think this art requires honesty, dedication and commitment.'
