These earrings blend the depth of black onyx with the purity of .950 silver in a compact square design that works day or night. Each stone is hand-set, ensuring the onyx sits secure and perfectly aligned. The polished finish catches light against the mineral black of the stone — understated sophistication that speaks without volume.

.950 sterling silver with its visible hallmark is the authenticity seal of Taxco's finest workshops. Purer than .925 (the standard), .950 resists oxidation better and lasts decades with daily wear. The hand-stone-inlay technique requires precision: the artisan fixes each onyx individually, careful not to crack it. This is craftsmanship you can feel in the weight and finish.

Taxco has been the world capital of sterling silvercraft for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is woven into every piece: generations of artisans who command pure silver in ways few others can. Onyx, stone of protection in pre-Hispanic tradition, remains a cornerstone of modern Taxco jewelry. Here, it meets minimalism.

Frequently Asked

Q: Does onyx scratch easily?
A: Onyx is delicate (7 on Mohs hardness); avoid direct impact. With normal care, they'll last years. If one cracks, we can reset it with a fresh stone.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is 95% pure silver (vs. 92.5%). Whiter, more tarnish-resistant, and more valuable. Ideal for delicate everyday pieces.

Q: Can I swim in these?
A: Skip chlorine pools and salt water. Remove before showers with chlorine. Onyx is sensitive to chemicals.
