The Saint Benedict medal is a symbol of spiritual protection since the 6th century. These earrings carry it with minimalist elegance: the repousse relief captures every detail of the saint while the feather weight (1.5 g) makes them perfect for hours of wear without fatigue. In Taxco, where the craft of silver lives in every hammer strike, repousse is more than a technique — it's the artisan's fingerprint on each piece. Here, every relief tells a story of devotion.

Authentic .925 silver with hallmark, these earrings are a commitment to the genuine. The repousse technique requires precision and patience: the artisan hammers from the back, giving volume to the front. No two pairs are identical — each is an individual creation. If you're seeking a connection to the silver tradition without compromising lightness, this is your piece.

Taxco, the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years, remains the heart of the Arte Taxco story. Every piece from our workshops is heir to a pre-Hispanic craft, refined and honored by generations. You buy not just an earring, but the guarantee that this relief was made by hands trained in the craft since childhood.
