What is Hecho in Mexico is well made.

Given the recent events that have occurred in the world, today I want to share with you the beautiful story behind the emblematic seal Made in Mexico and how this distinctive has become synonymous with quality and pride in various products, but there is a story that precedes the emblematic seal and that, in some way, perhaps laid the foundations for its creation: the distinction and prestige of Mexican silver.

The origin of the Made in Mexico seal.

The Made in Mexico logo was established in 1978 by the Government of Mexico, through the then Secretariat of Commerce and Industrial Development, to identify and promote products made in our country. This emblem, which features the head of an eagle accompanied by the legend Made in Mexico, was designed by the Mexican Omar Arroyo Arriaga at the defunct Mexican Institute of Foreign Trade (IMCE).

Over the years, the logo has undergone some modifications to modernize its image but always maintained its essence and original purpose: to highlight the quality and authenticity of Mexican products.

Made in Mexico as a guarantee of quality

Having the Made in Mexico seal not only indicates a product's origin but also guarantees quality and excellence. This seal is awarded by the Ministry of Economy to those products that meet established standards and are manufactured in the country. The process to obtain authorization for use is simple and free and can be done online through the Comprehensive System of Standards and Conformity Assessment (SINEC).

Mexican jewelry: a valued tradition

Mexican jewelry is recognized worldwide for its design, craftsmanship, and quality. Wearing a piece with the Made in Mexico seal is synonymous with wearing a work of art that reflects our artisans' cultural richness and mastery.

There are collectors dedicated exclusively to Mexican jewelry, appreciating its historical and aesthetic value. Renowned firms have recognized the importance of the Mexican market, establishing points of sale in our country and collaborating with local artisans to offer unique pieces that combine tradition and modernity.

The Made in Mexico seal on jewelry

Although the Made in Mexico seal can be used on jewelry to highlight its origin, it is not very common to see it applied in this sector today. Some brands of artisanal jewelry include the seal "MEXICO" on their pieces, and sometimes "TAXCO MÉXICO", although the latter should only be used when the piece is produced in Taxco, for ethical and authenticity reasons.

Some prestigious firms have brought Mexican jewelry to international markets without necessarily carrying the Made in Mexico seal, but always with a commitment to quality and national design. For those who wish to include this distinctive in their creations, it is necessary to contact the Ministry of Economy and meet the requirements for its use, here is a link to the information.
