These Lovebird Turquoise Dangle Earrings 'Taxco Lovebirds' are a wonderful and emotional accessory. Designed by Maria Belen Nilson, these sterling silver dangle earrings feature pairs of birds above stylized flowers in contrasting polished and oxidized finishes, with two cabochons of natural turquoise accenting each earring. The pieces, which are a vessel for passion, patience, and resilience, are a beautiful representation of the artisan's commitment to creating jewelry that carries both tradition and 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.
Handcrafted in Mexico with .925 sterling silver and turquoise. Each earring measures 2 inches in length and 0.8 inches in width. It has a combination finish. Color may vary as it is made from real turquoise.
