Visit the Crafting Traditional Mexican Silverwork Workshop

Just outside downtown, under Tlaxco’s bright sky, sits Eva Martínez’s workshop. She is a talented but little-known artist. This woman, fervently devoted to the past and a staunch enemy of oblivion, has dedicated her life to rescuing antique jewelry and has turned her home into a temple to memory.

Founded in 1985, this spot focuses on re-creating old Mexican jewelry from the 18th and 19th centuries. Its most acclaimed pieces include Martínez’s detailed, subtly perfect re-creation of Frida Kahlo’s earrings.
