I am finally getting caught up after my last trip to Taxco, Mexico! These lovely flower pieces are a staple at our little shop and I am here to tell you a little bit about them and why we love them so much!  

The Santos brothers' father passed away when they were both just boys. This was followed by their mothers death just a few years later but by then, the brothers had begun to establish their jewelry making business. A combination of discipline and hard-work set them onto the path to success. Today they are selling to not only the tourist shops in Mexico City but they export their jewelry to the United States. Luckily I discovered the Santos brothers when they were still small enough to be found at a local market. What I really like about Margarito and his brother is that they are happy and their staff is happy. It is a pleasure to be around the workshop and I am thankful to them for sharing their time and experiences with me

Workshops are often small and make shift but for two brothers starting and running a business on their own since high school the space works. Margarito  quickly showed me how to make a chain from tiny bits of alpaca metal and then to attach this chain to a recently created heart pendant filled with miniature dried flowers inside of durable clear resin.
