The Mexican city of Taxco is renown for the production of superb silver jewelry. Its abundant silver and semi-precious gems attracted designers and studio jewelers from all over the world. Antonio Pineda was born in Taxco in 1919. He apprenticed with William Spratling before opening his own workshop in 1939. Pineda's Modernist style was bold and architectural, and his jewelry is amongst the most technically refined ever made in Taxco.
