Owls have symbolized wisdom in Prehispanic and modern cultures alike. This pair of earrings captures that energy in 3D volume that plays with light: the rounded head in silver, the wide-open eyes, the compact body — all built with cartoneado, a Taxco specialty rarely known outside Guerrero. Lightweight, versatile, the perfect companion for anyone who seeks jewelry with character.

Authentic sterling .925 with certificate of authenticity. Cartoneado is a craft technique requiring precision: silver sheet is formed in molds and hand-soldered, creating solid, durable pieces. Each pair emerges identical in proportion, but with the natural marks of the process — no two are exactly alike.

Taxco, Mexico, has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the history of silversmith families mastering ancestral techniques: filigree, repoussé, piercing, and cartoneado. This pair comes straight from that craft, made in Taxco, bearing the authenticity mark that guarantees its value.
