Each pair tells a different story. Abalone shell, with its shifting tones of deep blue, luminous green, and golden flashes, transforms light with every movement. In these earrings, hand-set in solid silver, the character of each stone is honored — no two pairs are exactly alike. The square form, polished and harmonious, keeps the spotlight on the natural stone.

The Taxco technique of hand-setting stone in silver combines goldsmith precision with artistic vision: each shell is selected, fitted, and secured with silver prongs that embrace it without force. The .925 silver with its hallmark guarantees authenticity and permanence — perfect for a stone as special as abalone.

Taxco, the world capital of silver craft for 500 years, is where the art of stone-setting was born. The Arte Taxco story is the story of artisans who respect their material — neither stone nor silver is secondary. Here, both live together.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is abalone shell?
A: A sea creature whose shell displays natural iridescent reflections — blues, greens, golds — that shift with light. It has been prized in jewelry since ancient times.

Q: Why does each pair look different?
A: Because every shell has its own natural pattern. Hand-setting respects that uniqueness — it's the Taxco craft: celebrating the one-of-a-kind, not the uniform.

Q: Is abalone shell fragile?
A: It is more delicate than opal or turquoise. Avoid direct impact and don't expose it to chlorine or prolonged salt water. Stored carefully, it lasts a lifetime.
