Two little silver faces smiling from your ears. Each one just over one and a half centimeters — the perfect size for joy without overload. Cartoneado, that Taxco technique that shapes 3D volume from flat silver sheet, gives them depth: they're not plain or flat, they have body, they have presence. The tilted caps, the open eyes, that carved smile — everything designed for someone who wants jewelry that tells stories without words.

Authentic .925 sterling with the hallmark to prove it — in Taxco, authenticity is part of the design. Every expression on these faces was shaped by hand by artisans who master the cartoneado, a technique rarely known outside Guerrero that turns flat sheet into three-dimensional forms. The final polish brings out every line and curve, making it clear that no machine made these.

Taxco: 500 years as the world's silver-smithing capital. It's no accident that playful, tenderhearted designs are born here. Arte Taxco's story is one of silversmiths who respect the craft and understand that soulless jewelry is just metal. These earrings have soul.

Frequently Asked

Q: What is cartoneado?
A: A Taxco technique that creates 3D volume from flat silver sheet, without casting. Each shape is hand-assembled and hand-soldered — it's watchmaker-level precision.

Q: Aren't they fragile because of the 3D shape?
A: No. .925 silver sheet is strong; the cartoneado is soldered at all critical points. Wear them freely, just avoid bending or crushing them.

Q: Do they come as a pair?
A: Yes, both earrings in matching style and size. The 0.9 g weight is the complete pair.
