TISTIK

If you are a guy, you might have taken the Silver Line, had a silver bullet at the bar last weekend, and collected the comics of the Silver Surfer. A girl’s mind is different: silver means elegant and seductive bling bling. And when we talk about Mexican silver (plata mexicana, as it’s known in Spanish), that is the gold standard . . . ahem, the silver standard. TISTIK, which means “a warm welcome” in Mayan, offers handcrafted silver pieces made by Mexican jewelry artists like Estela Corona, Clarisa Ortiz, and Pavel Perez, whose names may not mean anything to you — yet.
