Emilia Castillo (born 1958 in Taxco, Mexico) is a celebrated contemporary designer and silversmith known for her imaginative silver-plated and mixed-metal creations, including vases, bowls, pitchers, serveware, and decorative objects. Raised in a family of silversmiths, she learned metalworking techniques in her father’s workshop and launched her own studio in the 1980s. Her distinctive pieces often incorporate natural stones like malachite, lapis lazuli, and turquoise, and feature whimsical motifs such as frogs, parrots, tropical plants, and animals. Gaining commercial recognition through Neiman Marcus in the 1990s, her work has since been exhibited internationally and is noted for its fusion of Mexican artisanal tradition with modern design. Her handcrafted, limited-edition pieces—characterized by hand-hammered textures and stone inlays—are highly collectible and have achieved strong results at auction.
