Shopping for Silver You will find a wide range of silver to select from in Taxco, from high-quality hand-crafted original pieces to mass-produced cheap trinkets. Silver pieces should be marked with a .925 stamp, which signifies that it is Sterling Silver, comprising 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, which makes it durable. You'll more rarely find a 950 stamp which means it's made up of 95% silver. Most of the silver shops sell silver pieces by weight, with a variable rate depending on the merchant and the quality of the work. For special pieces and collector's items, head to the Spratling workshop, located in Taxco Viejo.
