These earrings are a lesson in craft. Repousse — that ancient technique where each hammer strike is a decision — reveals itself in every line of the prehispanic motif that rests on your ear. The profile head with its ceremonial headdress, the kind worn by Mesoamerican warriors and priests, appears here with the solemnity it deserves, hammered into .950 silver, the purest grade. This is not a piece multiplied by machine: it is two acts of creation, one in each earring.

.950 silver is the signature of uncompromising craftsmanship. Taxco has worked it this way for 500 years, ever since the Spanish brought the technique and the soil of Guerrero made it its own. The result is honest weight — 9.02 grams — felt in the hand, secure as it hangs from your ear. And the story of Arte Taxco is woven through every gram: five centuries of silversmithing that is art not by accident, but by craft.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is repousse?
A: An ancient technique where silver is hammered from the reverse with punches to create relief. Each strike is unique; no two pieces are identical.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 silver is purer (95% silver versus 92.5% in .925). It is more malleable for traditional repousse work and more resistant over time.

Q: Can the size be adjusted?
A: The 3.7 cm length is fixed. If you need them shorter or longer, write to hola@artetaxco.mx — we can create a custom pair.

Do you have silver you no longer wear?
