These 'Aztec Halo' by Independent Artisans are a striking and elegant pair of long sterling silver earrings that reveal the influence of pre-Hispanic Aztec art. Designed by Roy Nilson, these earrings feature discs of varying sizes that cascade from slender loops. The topmost disc is adorned with a headdress of feather-like textures and is centered with a piece of natural turquoise, creating a piece that is a true blend of artistry and cultural inspiration.
Born in 1962 in Río Cuarto, Argentina, this designer was raised in a family that valued art in all its forms. Though his early studies were not artistic, he trained as a stage actor and later pursued acting seriously in his 40s. After moving to Mexico, he turned to jewelry design, discovering a new medium for expression. His first creation, a silver ring, remains a treasured family heirloom. Since 2003, he has dedicated himself fully to jewelry, working alongside artisans who handcraft each piece using traditional methods. His designs are simple, original, and deeply inspired by life and the people around him. Family remains central to his practice, with relatives actively involved in his creative journey. For him, jewelry is not just adornment but a form of art, as essential and fulfilling as theater, cinema, and literature in celebrating the beauty of life.
These earrings are crafted from 925 sterling silver and natural turquoise. They have a high-polish finish, are equipped with hook earrings, and measure 3.5 inches long by 1.2 inches wide.
