These earrings capture the hypnotic beauty of malachite in its purest form. Each polished sphere reveals the mineral's signature veins, in deep green tones ranging from dark forest to luminous emerald. The compact size — just over a centimeter wide — makes them perfect for daily wear without weight, yet their presence is undeniable. The .950 silver holding each stone shines with the warmth unique to fine metal, contrasting with the mineral's sobriety.

Hand-set stone inlay in Taxco is a craft demanding precision: each malachite is fitted into its silver setting without electric tools, only with the artisan's experience. The earrings bear the .950 hallmark, guaranteeing silver authenticity. Made to order: if you want a different size or finish, we can adapt them for you.

For five centuries, Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silversmithing. The Arte Taxco story grows from that tradition: every piece we create honors the craft of the masters before us. Malachite, with its unique and unrepeatable patterns, reminds us that nature always surpasses design — we simply set it with care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is malachite fragile?
A: It's more delicate than quartz or cubic zirconia. Avoid hard impacts and store in a case. With care, they last for years.

Q: Can I change the size?
A: Yes. These earrings are made to order — write to us if you want 2 cm, 1.5 cm, or a different width.

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: Because malachite deserves a purer setting. The .950 gives a cleaner white and is more durable for hand stone-setting.
