A ring that speaks of intent. Five bars of black onyx, polished and set one by one into sterling .925 silver, create a visual pattern so strong it almost reads as authority — yet without ostentation. This kind of geometry is characteristic of modern Taxco design: clean lines, exact proportions, and the honesty of a stone that makes no pretense. Onyx absorbs light; silver reflects it. Together, they generate a contrast that works equally in a formal suit or everyday wear.

Each stone was set by hand. No press, no machine replaces the individual placement of a gemstone in its silver frame — that is pure craft. Onyx has symbolized strength and protection since antiquity, and in Taxco, for 500 years, silversmiths have understood how to amplify that energy through proportion and finish. This piece is an example: not a loud luxury, but a luxury that knows its own weight.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. For five centuries, generations of goldsmiths have perfected casting, setting, and polishing techniques that today distinguish every piece of Arte Taxco. Black onyx is a stone that demands precision — a loose setting leaves it mobile, a hurried polish dulls it. Here, the craft ensures that every detail of this ring meets standards that only sustained tradition can deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is onyx and why is it used in rings?
A: Onyx is a microcrystalline variety of agate, black and polished. It is a stone of medium hardness that contrasts visually with silver, ideal for geometric designs. Its symbolic origin is ancestral.

Q: Can the setting loosen?
A: No. Hand-setting in Taxco is artisanal yet precise — each stone is soldered and secured. Should you ever notice movement, contact us.

Q: Can I wear it daily?
A: Yes. Sterling .925 is durable. Onyx is relatively hard (7 on the Mohs scale), but avoid hard impacts and chemicals (chlorine, perfumes).
