Enrique Ledesma grew up working and 

learning in his father's jewelry shop in 

Mexico City. He studied painting and 

sculpture at the San Carlos Academy 

of Art. He apprenticed and worked at 

some important silver shops such as 

those of William Spratling, Hector 

Aguilar and Los Castillo.

In 1950 he opened his own shop, 

Plateria Ledesma, in Taxco.
He died in 1979.

He is well known for simple, elegant, 

modernist designs that achieve a 

flawless marriage of silver and stone, 

making the two mediums appear as one.
