Abalone shell is a treasure of the Pacific — its iridescent tones shift with light: blue-green to purple, gold to silver. This ring captures that magic in .925 Taxco silver, with each piece of shell set by hand by a master craftsman. No two are alike: the flash pattern is unique to every piece. Perfect for anyone seeking something different, versatile, and alive with the sea.

The sterling .925 carries its hallmark of authenticity, and the hand-setting of the shell — without press or machinery — is the quality seal of Taxco's finest workshops. Each stone is placed individually, which means hours of precision work.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is woven into every ring that leaves the workshops. When you buy an abalone shell piece, you're not just acquiring jewelry — you're holding part of the legacy of one of Mexico's most ancient crafts.
