Sea turtle earrings that capture the essence of the ocean. Each piece reveals a textured shell with olive-green fire opal set in the center, surrounded by polished .950 silver. The natural finish shows the detail of the craft: flippers, head, and body carved in solid silver, while the fire opal adds that touch of marine color that evokes ocean depths.

Hand stone setting is the hallmark of Taxco's master silversmiths. Each opal is placed and secured individually in its bezel — no press, no machinery. .950 silver is purer than .925 — less alloy, more malleability to craft fine details like the turtle's toes. The .950 Hallmark certifies the authenticity and purity you seek in real jewelry.

Taxco has been crafting jewelry that tells stories for 500 years. Sea turtles symbolize longevity and protection in many cultures — Taxco translated that meaning into silver. These earrings are precious not just for the metal and stone, but because each pair is born from ancestral knowledge of a craft passed down through generations in Guerrero.
