These silver earrings combine two stones of ancestral power: black onyx, symbol of protection and strength, and red coral, which represents vitality and passion. Each is set individually in .925 silver — a hand stone inlay technique where every gemstone is placed with precision, no machines, no presses. The volume and asymmetric geometry of the design speaks to tradition — the ethnic aesthetic that has endured in Taxco jewelry for centuries, when silversmiths combined local stones with techniques inherited from pre-Hispanic times.

The sterling silver bears the official hallmark of authenticity, and the 9.8-gram weight per pair confirms these are no lightweight pieces. The earrings have presence without straining the ear. Hand stone inlay is hours of work: each gem must fit perfectly, each solder joint must be invisible. This is why you feel the craftsmanship in the result — not in words, but in how stone and silver coexist without a single crack.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. In these mountain streets of Guerrero, successive silversmiths have perfected the art of combining metals and stones — not for trend, but out of respect for the craft. The Arte Taxco story is part of that continuum: every piece that leaves our workshops honors that tradition of precision and beauty without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between onyx and coral?
A: Onyx is black quartz — a stone of mineral protection — and coral is red, a product of the sea. Together in these earrings, they create a visual and symbolic balance between earth and ocean.

Q: What does "hand-set" mean?
A: Each gemstone is placed individually without a mechanical press. The artisan fits, solders, and polishes each setting — which is why the weight is 9.8 g and why no two pairs are exactly alike.

Q: How do I care for stone settings?
A: Avoid direct impact, keep away from chlorine and perfume, and store in a separate case. Stone inlays are delicate — a fall can crack the gem or loosen the setting.
