These earrings capture a motif that transcends culture: the eye as an amulet of protection. In Taxco, silversmiths reinterpret it through the geometric language of the pre-Hispanic Greek key, giving it a presence that is both delicate and bold. The sky blue of the central stone gleams against the silver frame, creating a visual balance that catches light and intention alike.

The hand-set inlay is precision work: each stone is individually fixed in its silver bed, without press or machine. The frame is finished with Taxco's traditional Greek-key motif, chased by hand. Authentic sterling silver .925, polished so the eye shines.

Taxco has spent 500 years translating symbols into silver — from colonial amulets to today. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that craft. These earrings are proof that tradition remains a living language.
