How a Trip to Mexico Resulted in a Jewelry Business

by Rena Klingenberg on May 28, 2008

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.
