Cartoneado earrings from Taxco hold a secret that only the wearer discovers: each sphere is not solid, but assembled from sheets of silver — giving them a weight that balances perfection with comfort. Cartoneado is a technique rarely seen outside Guerrero — it creates 3D volume through hand-hammering and manual assembly, without casting. These earrings carry geometric facets that play with light, refracting it in constant reflections as you move.

Authentic sterling .925 silver, with certificate of authenticity. Each sphere is assembled and polished individually in Taxco — if two pairs are identical, it is by mastery of craft, never by mold. You will see the precision in the closure and the mirror finish, marks of someone who truly knows silver.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silver. The Arte Taxco story begins with that legacy — today, every pair that leaves Taxco reaffirms why silversmiths worldwide respect that name. Earrings like these are not made on production lines: they are made in workshops, with fire, hammer, and decisions made by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is cartoneado?
A: A Taxco technique that creates 3D volume by hand-assembling sheets of silver without casting. Very few jewelry makers worldwide still practice it.

Q: Are they heavy?
A: No. Despite their size, they weigh just 6.51 g as a pair because the structure is hollow. You can wear them comfortably all day.

Q: How do I care for the polished facets?
A: Use a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid chlorine and perfume — sterling .925 can tarnish with prolonged contact with chemicals.
