These earrings capture the essence of the sea in sterling silver. Each abalone shell glows with blue, green, and gold reflections — a natural optical phenomenon that never repeats twice. The silver surrounds the stone in an ornamental hand-set bezel, where every embossed detail represents patience and precision. This is not machine jewelry: it is the result of craftsman decisions, hand adjustments, of understanding how light plays across a living stone.

The sterling silver carries the Quinto — Taxco's mark of authenticity. That seal does not just certify purity: it is the signature of a five-hundred-year-old craft that has protected its name. When you buy abalone from Taxco, you buy history. The hand-set work on each shell in this piece is craftsmanship no machine can replicate without losing character.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silver. For five centuries, silversmiths from Guerrero have transformed bullion into visual ceremonies. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that legacy brought to the present: pieces that honor technique without sacrificing contemporary design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does each abalone shell shine differently?
A: Abalone is a natural material with mother-of-pearl layers. Light refracts through those layers, creating unique reflections. No two shells are identical — that is their beauty.

Q: Does abalone shell come from the ocean?
A: Yes. Abalone is a sea mollusk. We use the mother-of-pearl from its shell. It is a noble material with five centuries of presence in Taxco jewelry.

Q: Are the closures secure?
A: Screw-back posts in sterling silver, tested in manufacturing. We recommend checking periodically that they are tightened, especially with earrings of this size.
