These earrings capture the prehispanic worldview in pure silver. Each piece shows a stepped pyramid beneath the sun and moon — symbols of duality and the sacred cycle that governed Mesoamerican life. Hand-repousse work, struck from the back with precision punches, creates relief that comes alive in light. No two pairs are identical: each hammer strike is the artisan's decision.

The .925 silver is stamped with the Hallmark, Taxco's seal of authenticity. This polished finish highlights the motif's detail and brings a shine that echoes the silver worked in prehispanic temples and courts. Discover the art of repousse that makes every piece unique.

Taxco has been the world capital of silversmithing for 500 years — a tradition that directly inherits from prehispanic goldsmiths. These earrings connect you with that legacy. Learn the Arte Taxco story and why your silver always holds value.
