These silver earrings are a lesson in contrast: the angular geometry of the four-pointed star embraces the black sphere of onyx like a window to infinity. Onyx, a stone of protection since ancient times, reflects light in deep tones. Each earring hangs 4.4 centimeters — enough to catch light with every movement, without excess. They are earrings that speak of intention, not volume.

The silver is authentic .925, certified with the .925 hallmark that guarantees its purity. The stone setting was done by hand — no mechanical press, each onyx was placed individually in its silver nest. This work demands watchmaker precision: one mistake and the stone won't be secure. That's why it takes time and care, and why each pair is slightly different from the next. These are made earrings, not manufactured ones.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition: every artisan who has polished silver in this city is part of the lineage that holds your pair of earrings. Onyx comes from earth, silver was mined from Guerrero, and both meet in Taxco in the hands of those who know how to do this.
