These earrings tell the story of the Aztec Calendar, one of the greatest achievements of pre-Hispanic astronomy. Every glyph, every concentric line, is a tribute to the priests and mathematicians who mapped the cosmos five centuries ago. The polished black onyx emphasizes the mystery of the design: the eyes of warriors and rulers, the night that preceded each new era's dawn.

Handmade in authentic sterling .925 with certificate of authenticity, each earring bears the .925 hallmark engraved. The stone is set by hand, stone by stone, without machinery: it is the same care that Taxco silversmiths inherit from colonial platería. Stone-setting technique requires the artisan to calculate the exact depth so the onyx rests firm without movement, without fracture.

Taxco: five centuries of unbroken silversmithing. Since Bernal Díaz discovered silver in the Guerrero sierra, the masters of the city have refined every technique of the craft — filigree, repoussé, stone setting — until they became art. Your pair of earrings is born from that tradition, in the hands of those who remain the finest silversmiths in the world. Read the story of Arte Taxco and understand why your silver comes from here.
