The links reinterpret the tongue — a symbol found throughout pre-Hispanic codices, where it stands for speech, knowledge and human connection. We reduced it to its essential form, so that each element falls into a rhythm that wraps naturally around the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe alternating metals add a second layer to that rhythm. Silver and gold take turns the way voices do in a dialogue — one cool, one warm, each one sharpening the other.\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 gold links begin the same way, then receive a thick layer of gold vermeil — real gold over sterling silver. It's what lets a piece this size stay light enough to wear all day while carrying the warmth of gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: .925 sterling silver and gold vermeil (gold over .925 sterling silver), hand-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: hollow-formed by hand using cartoneado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 1 inch (25 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinks: 12 links at 6″ · 14 at 7″ · 16 at 8″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 6″ Small · 7″ Medium · 8″ Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: our workshop in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order: 4–6 weeks from order to delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping: worldwide.

For the gold vermeil links, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth — avoid silver polish or abrasive cleaners on the gold, as they can wear the layer over time. Take it off before swimming and store it dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is gold vermeil?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold vermeil is a thick layer of real gold bonded over .925 sterling silver. It's more durable than standard gold plating and sits on a precious-metal base, not brass or alloy.\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 hollow construction is what keeps a piece this size light enough to actually wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the all-silver Lenguita?\u003c\/strong\u003e The gold. Same shape, same cartoneado construction, same weight — but half the links are finished in gold vermeil, so it reads warmer and more mixed-metal on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose a size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure your wrist and add about half an inch so it moves comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you make it in a custom length?\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually yes.
