Luxury in perfect proportion. These earrings are pure minimalism: a square malachite stone with its signature banded veins, hand-set in sterling .950, mounted on solid silver posts. The size is discreet yet bold — large enough for the vibrant green malachite to take center stage, small enough to wear every day without weight. Each pair is made to order in the workshops of Taxco, where .950 silver is the standard of luxury.

Hand-set stone inlay is the detail that elevates: each malachite is placed and soldered individually, without machines. Malachite — a copper mineral with black and green banding — has symbolized protection since ancient Egypt. In Taxco, working malachite demands precision: it is softer than other stones, and the artisan must understand its nature to protect it. The result is a setting that respects and honors the stone.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. It is no accident: the climate, the water, the tradition of generations — all converge so that silver is worked here in a way the world recognizes. When you wear these earrings, you wear five centuries of silversmithing heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How are stones hand-set?
A: The artisan places the malachite in position and uses silver solder to secure it. It takes longer than a machine press, but the stone is safer and honored in the process.

Q: Does malachite scratch easily?
A: It is softer than other stones, so it's best stored protected. Avoid hard impacts and clean only with soft cloth — never a brush.

Q: How do I know the silver is .950?
A: It comes with a certificate of authenticity and the hallmark (.950) engraved on the silver.
