Citlal Ramirez was born in the silver city of Taxco and belongs to a family of pioneers in the city’s silver production.  Her uncles were designers who worked with William Spratling, credited with establishing the town’s first silver jewelry workshop in 1931.

The creative process in her workshop is closely tuned to the needs of Citlal’s clients.  She works with them as a team, creating designs according to their needs and current market trends.

Citlal works in all common silver crafting techniques, beginning with the melting of the granules and continuing with laminates, lost wax, etc.  After adding the fine details by hand, she sets the gems, when required, to create the final design.
