Cartoneado is a Taxco technique rarely seen outside Guerrero — sterling sheet metal stamped and formed into 3D geometry, creating light-catching shapes. These earrings feature an olive green circonia stone that mirrors the depth of natural gemstones, with the durability and clarity of cubic zirconia. The pair is delicate, versatile for day or night, and hand-assembled in Taxco.

The .925 silver carries the hallmark certifying its authenticity. Cartoneado demands watchmaker precision: each die strike is a decision. When the metal sheet is formed, no two pairs are exactly alike — texture, volume depth, and how light touches the circonia varies. That is the Taxco craft premium: not assembly-line casting.

Taxco has been the world capital of silversmithing for 500 years. Cartoneado exemplifies how Arte Taxco's heritage blends ancestral technique with contemporary design. These earrings connect directly to that legacy — each Taxco workshop holds its own dies, its own design choices.
