These Handcrafted Prehnite and Taxco Silver Earrings 'Light of Taxco' by Independent Artisans are a beautiful and artistic accessory. Designed by Guillermo Arregui, the earrings feature concave circles of polished Taxco silver that embrace cool green prehnite gemstones. The piece, which is crafted by hand, reflects the artisan's journey of travel and the traditions of Mexican silver, and is a beautiful representation of his personal expression.

Born in Jaén, Spain, this artisan discovered his calling after years of travel across Europe, where encounters with people, landscapes, and cultures shaped his creative vision. Settling in Mexico in the mid-1980s, he apprenticed in a silversmith’s workshop in Taxco, a town renowned for its metalwork. What began as chance soon became a lifelong passion. Cutting his own stones and designing each piece by hand, he favors turquoise and other natural gems that reflect the vibrancy of his adopted home. Over decades, he has built a workshop that trains and employs local artisans, ensuring both stability and creative growth for his team. For him, jewelry is inseparable from life’s experiences: each design carries a story, a fragment of his travels, and the traditions of Mexican silver. His work embodies both personal expression and a legacy of shared artistry.

Handcrafted in Mexico with .925 sterling silver and prehnite, these post earrings have a high-polish finish. Each earring measures 0.6 inches in length and width. Natural variations in stone color and pattern are expected.
