Uxmal de Taxco - 97000 Ejido del Centro

World class silver jewelry! Everything hand-crafted and carefully measured to fit your needs. We were met by the owner, Miguel, who was very kind and attentive to show us all his signature pieces. We purchased many beautiful pieces that will surely last for generations. Another review of Uxmal de Taxco said they dreamt of returning; I now know why! He also crafts in .98 silver, which he told us is a lost art. Definitely worth the splurge if you enjoy silver jewelry and happen to visit Mérida.

This store is more of an art lesson or perhaps a lesson in the art of the silversmith. Don Miguel Peon comes from a family of giifted artists. His work draws from Mayan influences and is of the utmost craftsmanship. We felt like we had entered a special sanctuary dedicated to offering us a treasured gift from the Yucatan. It is worth the trip to meet Don Miguel if you buy nothing and have no interest in silver. He is a special soul one encounters only if they are the lucky ones. This store was the highlight of eight days in Merida.

What a lovely, lovely store! Just like the jewelry here, Miguel is an absolute gem. There is so much talent and beauty crafted in these pieces. If you want a true souvenir that you will cherish for years, then I strongly recommend that you treat yourself to some silver jewelry from here. I cannot stop staring and smiling at the silver ring I purchased here! My partner also bought a silver ring and it looks just as stunning. The prices were very fair too. This place is definitely worth a visit.

While they carry an enormous selection, the nicest things here are made by Miguel himself. My wife wanted to get me a bracelet, but I have big wrists. So he showed us a large, heavy silver cuff of his own design.

What an incredible experience! The skill and artisty of his craft is on full display at this wonderful silversmith. If your spanish is not great, like mine, no worries his english is excellent. If I ever have the pleasure of traveling back to Merida it is on my must stop by list.

I walked into Miguel’s shop and just started looking around. He waited patiently as I walked around the store and as soon as we started talking I knew I was in for a treat. He was so kind and his passion for working with silver was evident. He is extremely talented and will tell you how each piece is made and how certain designs were improved by his grandfather and his father. You really must stop in his shop. It was just such a delight to talk to him. It’s not cheap jewelry because it is pure silver and handcrafted but the prices are fair ($50 USD for earrings and $250usd for a necklace) I thought I had just walked in to look but I walked out with earrings and an intricately crafted necklace. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please stop by and support a local talented silversmith.

I did a bit of research and read the great reviews about this place before visiting Merida. The store is filled with all kinds of gorgeous and unique silver delights. The owner Miguel was nice as can be, explained everything very clearly and did not pressure or hover at all. I bought a beautiful necklace for a very reasonable price that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend this place. Sadly, after leaving here we got scammed by someone else who lured us into a "Mayan coop store" and ripped us off. Be careful of any locals who casually chat you up on the street and tell you how you just HAVE to go to this store because starting tomorrow it will be closed down for renovations for 2 weeks or something of that sort. They are scamming you! Uxmal de Taxco will not scam you. This place is the real deal. If you're in the market for anything silver on your trip this place is a must! You will leave feeling really good about shopping there, I promise.

Silver is a must in Mexico and Miguel is the go-to for the best in Merida.Since the late 1800s his family has produced quality pieces to last through the ages.
