Every onyx stone is placed by hand in its silver setting, without press or machinery. Black onyx is timeless elegance: it absorbs light, stands out against skin, and pairs with everything from casual to formal wear. These earrings fit in your palm but make a statement when you wear them — that is their power. At 3.5 cm long, they are noticeable without being dramatic, perfect for anyone seeking a detail that speaks for itself.

The sterling silver carries its hallmark of authenticity, proof that this is genuine Taxco silver .925. The hand-set stone requires hours of precision: the artisan places the onyx inside its silver cup and secures it with specific punches, without harming the surface. It is the work you don't see but that guarantees the stone stays in place, forever.

Taxco has been the world's center of artisan silversmithing for 500 years. Since silver was discovered nearby in the 16th century, generations of craftspeople perfected setting techniques still practiced by hand today. The Arte Taxco story is the story of those enduring crafts — and these earrings are a living example of that tradition.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is the hallmark stamped on the silver?
A: It is the Taxco authenticity mark — proof that your silver is .925 pure, made in Mexico. Every Arte Taxco piece carries this seal.

Q: Does onyx scratch easily?
A: Onyx is a hard stone (7–7.5 on the Mohs scale), resistant to everyday wear. Avoid rubbing it against rough surfaces; with normal care it will last for years.

Q: Can I wear these if I have sensitive earlobes?
A: Yes. Sterling .925 is hypoallergenic. If you suspect metal sensitivity, check first; but most people with sensitivity tolerate pure silver well.
