FIFTH's original chain bracelets are characterized by a design that pursues minimalist and modern beauty while inheriting the craftsmanship of Taxco, Mexico.
The design is a fusion of traditional and modern elements, incorporating geometric patterns and natural motifs such as the sun and moon that originate from indigenous Aztec and Mayan cultures, while also showing the influence of early 20th century European and American Art Deco and Modernism.

This bracelet, which embodies the warmth and attention to detail of the handcraftsmanship of Tasco's skilled artisans, features a striking silver shine and is suitable for a wide range of occasions, from everyday wear to special occasions.
Bring timeless beauty to your wrist with FIFTH bracelets, which reinterpret Mexican culture and traditions.
It's a five-hour drive from Mexico City and is home to a famous silver production area called Taxco. It's a city with a very poor reputation and many scary rumors about it. Many silversmiths live there, working silently in their own homes. While France has Hermès and Scandinavia has Georg Jensen, the world has a diverse history and context for jewelry, but Mexican silver seems to be in a different category.
Religious motifs and counterfeit goods are being mass-produced, which is not a good thing, but the presence of jewelry made by artisans is unmatched.
Taxco de Alarcón
Located at an altitude of 1,778m, this small town in the Mexican state of Guerrero is known as the "silver capital of the world" due to the flourishing silver industry that began with the discovery of a silver mine in the 16th century.
Fifth's jewelry is created by craftsmen who create unique designs while being influenced by the historical masterpieces they have seen hundreds, even thousands of times, and each piece is made by hand.
They are not as serious as Japanese factories, so we had to go back and forth in detail many times and make repeated corrections. Sometimes we even argued. But it was worth it, and we were able to create beautiful jewelry that can be worn without feeling self-conscious.

IInstead of wearing easy-to-understand symbols, we want people to feel that it is somehow nice and wear it as an extension of their daily lives. I like this jewelry as such an existence.
