During my childhood in Mexico, my parents liked to take us to visit the city of Taxco, Guerrero. I remember that we walked along its steep streets, appreciated the beautiful view from the impressive Cathedral of Santa Prisca and went to the flea market to buy silver jewelry from the artisans who were selling there. We enjoyed that magical city a lot!

Thanks to those nice memories and since I emigrated to The Netherlands, I had the desire to create my own Mexican silver jewelry business. I started Mex-up in 2013.

At Mex-up we have a wide variety of 925 silver accessories that are handmade by artisans from Taxco. We support four workshops. Most of the artisans work in family workshops for many years, which helped them build up experience and explore their roots with passion and love to create a variety of artwork.
