Hector Aguilar was a master silversmith, jewelry maker, and the first graduate from William Spratling's famous apprenticeships in Taxco, Mexico. He met Spratling almost by chance while bringing a load of tourists to Taxco from Mexico City in the 1930s. Aguilar was one of Spratling's best pupils, who often worked with close-to-pure silver (rated at 980 instead of the 925 of sterling silver on the silver scale). Aguilar was also a great businessman who only stayed at Spratling's workshop for three years before finding investors for his own workshop, Taller Borda.
