They are the town's natural voice.

The \u003cem\u003eplateros\u003c\/em\u003e working there today hand-finish every piece — there is no Taxco silver assembly line. The bold, sculptural aesthetic that defines Taxco jewelry is not a trend but a 250-year tradition of letting the metal speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver (.925), Taxco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural black onyx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Half-circle sculpted form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dangle drop earring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hook back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 2.0 inches (5.1 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 1.5 inches (3.8 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 85 g \/ 3.0 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a black turtleneck, these disappear into the outfit and reappear when you move.
