These .950 silver earrings celebrate it in its simplest form: a delicate teardrop, hand-set in a silver bezel that lets light pass through the stone. At 2.8 cm, they are visible enough to turn heads but discreet enough for daily wear or a special occasion. The hallmark on the silver guarantees authenticity; each pair is assembled in a Taxco workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterling .950 is purer than .925: it carries 95% pure silver and only 5% alloy. This makes it ideal for delicate stones like Fire Opal, because the metal absorbs less light and lets the stone's color be the lead. Hand-set stone placement—fitting the stone in its bezel without mechanical press—is work that takes time. You see it in every detail: the bezel edges close with precision, and the stone stays secure without risk of chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco has been the world capital of artisanal silverwork for 500 years. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003eThe Arte Taxco story\u003c\/a\u003e is the story of generations who learned to work silver without modern machines, with hand and patience.
