These earrings combine two geometric volumes — a square of silver in contrast with a polished sphere of black onyx. The result is a piece that balances modernity and craftsmanship, minimalism and visual weight. Onyx, a stone of power and reflection in Mesoamerican cultures, is here set individually in each earring — no rush, no machines. Every stone is placed by hand.

.950 silver is the purest grade worked in jewelry — almost fine silver. Its hallmark on the back certifies its authenticity. This level of purity allows for more delicate stone settings and deeper luster, because the silver doesn't compete with the stone: it honors it.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the capital of silversmithing in the Americas. Since Spanish discovery of the region's mines, the artisans of this city have refined techniques that are now heritage. Every piece from Arte Taxco honors that tradition — it's not a digital design mass-produced, but workshop work where the hand is still the primary tool. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: .950 is nearly pure silver — it allows for finer stone settings and deeper luster without tarnish. It's the standard in fine jewelry.

Q: Is the onyx natural?
A: The onyx we use comes from natural sources. It has variations in tone and veining — each stone is unique. If you want absolute uniformity, these earrings may not be for you.

Q: Can I customize them?
A: Yes. They're made to order. Write to hola@artetaxco.mx with your idea — size, alternative stone, finish — and we'll quote you.

Do You Have Old Silver?

Old silver, heirloom pieces, or earrings from another jeweler — we buy them back. Send photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll make you an offer in store credit.
