Overview
TC is a jewelry hallmark in use by the popular “Taxco .925 Mexican Silver Store” as a hallmark for their jewelry. This business was formally started in 2016 by Sara and Andrew and is based out of Mexico.
Origin
The business came into being when the founder, Sarah, discovered that vintage Mexican jewelry that she purchased from her hometown of Zihuatanejo in Guerrero, México was becoming increasingly popular in the United States, and she was able to sell it in her local flea markets.
This hobby led to one scouring for more Mexican jewels locally, cleaning, restoring, and finally selling them. This further led to even more mature interest in this field where Sarah engaged in more research specifically on silver jewelry in the context of Mexican culture.
Initially, the business sold its small product portfolio online but as it grew, the need for finding a reliable and consistent source for these silver ornaments grew which led them to leave their then home in the States and relocate to Mexico to be near the source of their income and business products.
