How a Trip to Mexico Resulted in a Jewelry Business
For hundreds of years Taxco, Mexico has been world-renowned for its rich veins of silver and skilled silversmiths.
On a visit to Mexico a few years ago, Catherine D'Arcy was impressed with the craftsmanship of the Taxco silversmiths.
She requested a custom silver bracelet and necklace set - and a week later, she was surprised to receive 10 beautifully handmade sets of the same design instead of just one.
Catherine says,
"It was my fault, with my terrible Spanish, so I bought them and started thinking about what to do next."
Find out how this misunderstanding led to the birth of a silver jewellery business called Corazon Latino in Catherine's story, The Accidental Jewelry Business.
