These earrings showcase cartoneado, a little-known technique outside Guerrero. Rather than casting solid silver, master artisans take sheet silver and create 3D volume through skilled manual work, crafting elegant forms that defy their minimal weight. Pure Taxco mastery.

Sterling .925 with hallmark guarantees authenticity. At this minimalist size (1.2 cm), the earrings suit any face shape and work equally in casual or formal settings. Their lightness makes them comfortable for hours of wear. The polished finish catches light and highlights the sculptural form.

Taxco has been the world capital of silver craftsmanship for 500 years — the Arte Taxco story carries that legacy. Cartoneado is an officio requiring patience and precision: each fold is a decision, each curve a hammer strike. When you wear cartoneado earrings, you wear hours of concentrated artisanal focus.
