Acapulco – Shopping for Mexican Silver

February 28th, 2010
Bernal Castillo asked:


Acapulco is close to Mexico’s main silver-producing region. Taxco, a colonial city in the mountains between Acapulco and Mexico City, is the historical center of this time-honored craft. You will be able to buy Mexican silver in several places in Acapulco, and at very reasonable prices. This article describes what to look for so as to be sure to get what you pay for.

All well-established stores will be open and honest about the quality and silver content of the pieces they sell. This is not always true with transient vendors. To be a good shopper for silver you should bring a magnifying glass, or loupe.

Content. In Mexico you should encounter only one of two types of silver. Either it will be “sterling” or it will be “Alpacca.”

Sterling is 92.5% pure. In Mexico, the remainder is pure copper, added to give the alloy tensile strength. In Mexico, all pieces of sterling are stamped “925” somewhere, usually next to the artisan’s hallmark, if there is one. On jewelry this can be exceedingly tiny, which is why you brought your loupe with you. If you can not find the “925,” do not buy the piece. It might be genuine sterling nonetheless, but it probably is not. Certainly it was not produced by a qualified silversmith in Mexico. Alpacca is also called “nickel silver” or “German Silver.” Its natural finish is similar to that of pewter. Local vendors may tell you that Alpacca contains silver, but it does not. It is an alloy of nickel, copper and (usually) zinc. Frequently pieces of Alpacca will be silver plated, so they look as shiny as sterling. Many sales people think the name is “alpaca,” like the Peruvian beast of burden. In fact, the word (with two c’s and a capital “A”) was a trade mark created by Berndorg AG, a German silversmith, to describe this non-silver alloy. All pieces of Alpacca produced by qualified silversmiths will be stamped “MEX” in the same place where you would find “925” on a piece of sterling. If the item is silver plated, the word “plate” or “plat.” should appear somewhere. The specific gravity of Alpacca is considerably lower than sterling’s, so it will always be notably lighter than an equivalent piece of sterling silver. Fine Silver. If someone offers you “fine silver,” be suspicious. This defines silver that is at least 97% silver, up to about 99.9%. It is too soft to be of practical use for jewelry or for household items. If you can almost dent the surface with your finger nail, it may be true “fine silver.” More likely, it will look and feel like sterling or Alpacca. This should tip you off that the vendor is either dishonest or uninformed.

Mexican silversmiths are highly organized and work hard to maintain the discipline and rules of practice so as to maintain consumer confidence. The “925” or “MEX,” if placed on the piece by the craftsman, is probably reliable. Be alert, however, for signs of tampering with the stamp. On very rare occasions a salesman may try to talk you into believing that “MEX” is actually “925.” This is where the magnifying glass comes in handy.

The term “Mexican Silver” historically referred to an alloy with 95% silver and 5% copper, but the product was thought too soft for modern applications, and so sterling has been adopted as the standard for many years. Nowadays, this term just means any silver piece made in Mexico.

Where to Go Shopping. Inside Parque Papagayo there is a jewelry factory and outlet called B & B Jewelers. It is a great place to go to see jewelry in the making. Be sure to see the fire opals. At Taxco Exporta on the Costera Alemán in the Club Deportivo area, you can find not only jewelry, but artistic items of home décor, including trays, vases and the like. The several Sanborns outlets in town also provide well-priced items of genuine Mexican silver articles and jewelry. If you are downtown, across the side street (Juan Escudero) from Sanborns is Linda de Taxco, a shop that specializes in the artistic output of these world-famous artisans. Nearby you can visit Joyería Bonita Margarita where lots of silver and gold crafts can be found.

Minette is a high-end jewelry store in the Fairmont Princess Acapulco hotel, offering one-of-a-kind pieces of designer jewelry and very elaborate decorative pieces for the home. In Las Brisas, Tane Orferes offers unique works in gold and silver jewelry by well-known designers and artists. Torzal Joyeros, on the Costera near the Diana traffic circle, offers hand-crafted jewelry items of all sorts. One specialty is unique, matching wedding rings.

Finding the Right Patio Furniture

February 10th, 2010
Gen Wright asked:


ng room:

It is the place in your house where you convene as a family after the events of a hard day to watch TV and relax. Many families have even migrated their evening meals from the kitchen table to the comforts of the Holy Temple of the Flat-Screen.

No matter what you use it for, it is an undeniably high-traffic area where much of the “free time” of the family is spent. While most living room furniture is conducive to comfort, it lacks the mobility that lets you rearrange several different looks for your environment. Patio furniture can give you comfort and versatility.

It is lightweight enough to move around at your leisure. You can come up with several different arrangements until you strike on the one that works for your living room. However, it’s also just as supportive and comfortable as any other major piece of furniture you can buy.

If you were not previously aware of how just “at home” patio furniture can look in your living room, then you have not seen these great options:

Louisiana Acapulco Set

This simple and universal design is one that will look perfect in your living room. With a rattan frame and a special weave of banana leaf, seagrass, rattan fitrit, and rattan core, the Louisiana Acapulco Set is a mix of tropics and Cajun country! Wide base chairs, loveseat, sofa, and coffee table, all combine for an experience that allows you to lounge and live, live and lounge.

Arizona Set

You may wish to decorate your living room in a Southwestern motif. If so, the Arizona Set is the way to go. Featuring club chairs, sofa, loveseat, and coffee tables, your family will have plenty of room to enjoy the view from every angle. The seating is wide and comfortable with a strong wooden frame and master craftsmanship on the body material. It is also cushioned for your comfort, and the coffee table offers plenty of room for your drinks, books, or magazines.

Oristano Chair

Perhaps an entire ensemble of patio furniture is not what you are looking for, but you feel the addition of one or two pieces of furniture could lend a helping hand to the arrangement you are looking for. In that case, the Oristano Chair is a perfect complement to the rest of your surroundings. With its pod-like shape, golden-brown stain, and thick padding, the Oristano is everything you want in an inside chair at equal comfort and lesser cost.

Hongkong Chair

The Hongkong Chair is a two-piece yin-and-yang piece of furniture with striking color schemes of orange, white, and blue. It can be combined for togetherness or separated for increased privacy.

The options are unending. You just have to decide the motif with which you wish to go, and from there, the choices will jump out at you. From earthier materials to more futuristic looks, shop around and you will find there is a style of patio furniture for every living room.
