Here the tongue motif — drawn from pre-Hispanic codices, where it stands for speech, knowledge and human connection — meets itself four times, rotated into a cross that frames an open center. Four voices facing four directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur silversmiths build it using \u003cem\u003ecartoneado\u003c\/em\u003e, a technique Taxco has practiced for generations: sheets of .925 sterling are die-stamped, then soldered one by one into a hollow form.

The Lengua Scarf Ring uses three tongues in a flowing form; the Cruz arranges four in a cross, so it reads more graphic and symmetrical on fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the piece solid or hollow?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow. We build it with cartoneado, a traditional Taxco technique: sheets of .925 sterling silver are die-stamped and hand-soldered into a hollow form. The silver is .925 throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Spratling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154530762848,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8947\/4400\/files\/lenguacruzscarfring.png?v=1789650190","url":"https:\/\/carolinasstudio.com\/products\/lengua-cruz-scarf-ring-in-sterling-silver","provider":"Carolina S Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
