These earrings are born from openwork — one of the most demanding techniques in silversmithing. Each cross is cut by hand with a jeweler's saw that, in expert hands, transforms a sheet of silver into a symbol of precision and faith. The void of the design — what is NOT there — is as important as the silver that remains. A single deviation in the cut and the piece is lost. That's why every pair is one of a kind.

Authentic sterling silver .925, marked with the hallmark. Openwork is a pre-Hispanic technique from Taxco, documented in ancient codices and carried to the present by silversmiths who learn the craft across generations. Taxco's precision shines in every clean cut, in every polished edge.

When you wear these earrings, you carry 500 years of silver-working tradition. Taxco is not just a place — it is the world capital of artisanal silverwork, where openwork remains a dialogue between the craftsman and the silver. The Arte Taxco story begins here, in this craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is openwork?
A: A Taxco technique that cuts the design using a jeweler's saw. It's pre-Hispanic and still entirely handmade — one mistake ruins the piece. That's why every pair is unique.

Q: Is 4.4 cm comfortable for daily wear?
A: Yes. It's small enough to feel delicate but visible enough to make an impact. It hangs naturally from the earlobe without scratching or weighing down.

A: Present your pair with the certificate and we buy back up to 70% in store credit, no expiration. It's pure silver — it always has value.
