These earrings awaken the geometry and symbolism of ancient civilizations. Each piece is a tiny medallion where prehispanic relief — geometric figures and sacred elements — comes to life under the artisan's hammer. At 2.5 cm, they strike the perfect balance: visible yet elegant, light enough to wear all day without tiring.

Repoussé is one of Taxco's oldest techniques, where the artisan strikes the back of silver with precision to create volume and texture from the front. No two pairs are identical: each blow, each shadow, bears the mark of the hand that made it. Every piece is a small sculpture.

Taxco has been the world's silver capital for 500 years. From colonial times to today, its artisans revive prehispanic motifs in silver, honoring Mexico's heritage. Learn about the Arte Taxco story and why every piece from Taxco carries a legacy of craft.
