These earrings capture the geometry of the sun in its purest form: rays that dance around a polished black onyx sphere, set in sterling silver. The size is generous without overwhelming — just shy of a finger's length — and the contrast between the dark stone and bright silver creates a hypnotic effect, like gazing into the night sky. Hand stone setting means each onyx was individually placed, secured, and polished; no machine can replicate the precision of the artisan's touch.

Onyx is a stone of protection and focus in Mexican tradition. Set in sterling .925 with the hallmark that certifies authenticity, these earrings are an investment in your style and in the continuity of Taxco silversmithing — a craft that has spent 500 years transforming silver into symbols. The weight (15.45 g per pair) provides presence without discomfort; the undulating ray design catches light with every movement.

Taxco is no ordinary place on the silver map. For five centuries, artisans in this town in Guerrero have perfected stone-setting, polishing, and finishing techniques recognized worldwide. When you wear Arte Taxco earrings, you carry not just jewelry — you carry the heritage of a tradition that sustains hundreds of silversmith families, masters teaching the next generation how to make silver speak.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the onyx natural?
A: These are described as onyx; the stone has the presence and hardness to withstand daily wear. If you'd like to confirm the specific origin before purchasing, reach out to hola@artetaxco.mx.

Q: What is hand stone setting?
A: Each onyx is individually set into the silver, secured with precision, and polished to fit perfectly. It's not a mechanical press — it's a technique that requires hours per pair.
