A ring that doesn't ask permission. Black onyx set in sterling silver, with horizontal lines that divide the stone and give it visual movement without sacrificing solidity. This is a ring for someone who wants presence — neither too delicate nor too extravagant. The 13.8-gram weight reminds you it's there, that it's real. The octagonal geometry of the stone keeps it versatile: works with a suit, with jeans, in the office or on the street. Everyday wear, no pretense.

Sterling .925 with its hallmark guarantees authenticity — real silver, not plated or fake. Black onyx, a volcanic stone common in Mexico, is cut, polished, and hand-set into the metal in Taxco. Each piece requires precision: the setting must be firm enough to last years, but not so tight it fractures the stone. Taxco artisans have mastered this balance because they've been doing it for five centuries. It's not magic; it's craft.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. The silversmiths who made this ring inherited their techniques from their masters, who inherited them from theirs — an unbroken line since silversmithing arrived in Guerrero. Every ring that leaves Taxco carries that tradition in the metal. It's history you can touch. Learn the story of Arte Taxco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between hand-set and machine-set stones?
A: Hand-setting allows the artisan to feel the stone's resistance and adjust pressure to prevent cracking. Every stone is unique; machines don't adapt. It's slower, but it lasts longer.

Q: Does onyx scratch easily?
A: Onyx is a softer stone (7 on the Mohs hardness scale). With normal care it lasts for years. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces and store it in a case.

Q: Why is Taxco special in silver?
A: Taxco was founded in 1529 as a silver mining town. For 500 years, silversmithing became a hereditary craft — fathers teach sons, masters teach apprentices. It's not chance; it's continuity of skill.
