These Artisan Crafted Earrings Taxco Sterling Silver Jewelry by Independent Artisans, named 'Depth of Heart,' are an exquisite design from Mexican artisan Maria Belen Nilson. The sterling silver heart earrings are crafted by hand with openwork curling vines that create a sense of delicate intricacy. Shiny silver beads contrast beautifully with the earrings' darkened matte finish, adding depth and visual interest. Inspired by Mexican culture and the work of Frida Kahlo, these earrings are more than just jewelry—they are a vessel for passion, patience, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Born in Río Cuarto, Argentina in 1954, this designer has made Mexico her lifelong home and muse. After moving there at 21, she began teaching literature before discovering her passion for silver in the famed jewelry town of Taxco. Following her divorce, she established her own workshop to provide for her three daughters, learning from master silversmiths and drawing inspiration from Mexican culture, traditions, and the work of Frida Kahlo. Over time, she developed collections such as Mexican Drama and Texture and Purity, which explore the emotional and cultural richness of her adopted country. Today, her workshop sustains seven families, preserving techniques like lost wax, embossing, and die-cutting while maintaining impeccable quality standards. For her, silver is more than a medium — it is a vessel for passion, patience, and resilience. Guided by love for Mexico, she continues to create jewelry that carries both tradition and spirit to clients worldwide.
Crafted in Mexico from sterling silver with a combination finish, these hook earrings measure 2.4 inches L x 0.8 inches W.
