Saint Benedict, patron of Christian devotion, takes shape in these silver earrings through the repousse technique — each hammer strike from the back creates a unique relief. At 2.9 cm long, they're light on the ear and visible enough to show your faith. The .925 silver brings natural warmth without irritation, perfect for daily wear by anyone seeking the saint's protection.

Repousse is one of Taxco's oldest techniques: skilled artisans hammer silver from behind with jeweler's precision. No two pairs are identical — each pattern of blows is a decision, a personal interpretation of the craft. Made by hand in Taxco, this piece carries that honest variation a machine could never achieve.

Taxco has been the world's silver craftsmanship capital for 500 years. Since the Spanish conquest discovered silver veins in Guerrero's mountains, the silversmiths of this region have perfected techniques that are today a living heritage. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that craft — honest, enduring, generation after generation.
