Every hammer strike on the back of these earrings tells a story from Mesoamerica. The relief you see — that circular medallion with geometric and symbolic motifs — is the work of an artisan who understands how silver responds to the hammer. These are not cast; they are born from craft. At 3.1 cm, their compact size makes them perfect for everyday wear without sacrificing the visual presence that only true handwork delivers.

Sterling .950 is purer than .925 — softer, rarer, and more valuable. It reflects Taxco's commitment to uncompromising quality. Each piece carries the .950 hallmark, your certificate of authenticity guaranteeing origin and purity. Repousse, moreover, is one of the most delicate techniques: it demands a steady hand, patience, and years of practice. A single mistaken hammer blow can ruin the piece. That mastery has value — and you're holding it.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for over 500 years — since Spanish explorers discovered silver veins in Guerrero. Today, those same principles of craft live on in the Arte Taxco story. Every piece bearing our name is a link in that tradition, an act of resistance against the machinery that would make everything identical. These earrings are no exception.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is repousse?
A: An ancestral technique where the artisan hand-hammers with punches from the back to create reliefs on the front. Each piece is slightly unique because there's no machinery — it's pure craft.

Q: Why .950 sterling and not .925?
A: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs 92.5%), softer, and rarer. Taxco works in both; these earrings deserved the finest.

Q: How does the buyback work?
A: Bring your earrings with your certificate number and we buy them back in store credit, up to 70%, with no expiration date.
