The ribbed, fan-shaped detailing between each turquoise panel adds texture and movement along the length of the chain, a hallmark of the sculptural approach many Taxco workshops took to silver jewelry in the mid-twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco's silver industry, shaped by figures like William Spratling and carried forward by a generation of skilled local workshops including Narvaez, became internationally recognized for pairing sterling silver with native Mexican turquoise and other stones in bold, modern designs.
