Whimsy in Metal

Emilia Castillo’s Nature-Inspired Masterpieces

Emilia Castillo, a Mexican designer from the historic town of Taxco renowned for its silverworking tradition, channels the rich natural beauty of her surroundings into distinctive works that combine metals with stones like turquoise, lapis lazuli, jasper, and onyx. Trained from a young age in her father Antonio Castillo’s silversmith workshops, she honed her craft alongside master artisans. Today, her award-winning pieces are collected globally, with commissions as prestigious as the chapel of the Virgin of Guadalupe in St. Peter’s Basilica.
