Pear-Shaped Sterling Silver Drop Earrings from Mexico 'Modern Pears' These 'Modern Pears' drop earrings by Independent Artisans are a perfect example of refined, modern elegance rooted in centuries of tradition. Created by the father-son duo Graeme and Philip Watson in Taxco, the silversmithing capital of Mexico, each earring is shaped like a perfect, polished pear. The minimalist design and high-polish finish highlight the beauty of the sterling silver, while the post earring style ensures a sleek and comfortable fit. These earrings are more than simple adornment; they are a symbol of resilience and the timeless legacy of a family dedicated to preserving their heritage.
In the silversmithing capital of Taxco, Graeme and his son Philip have built a family workshop that blends tradition with resilience. Graeme, a master jeweler, crafts sterling silver using time-honored techniques of smelting, shaping, soldering, and hand-polishing, while Philip coordinates communications and business operations. Their journey has not been without challenges — a financial loss once forced them to close their workshop and rebuild from scratch — but their perseverance has shaped their identity. Together, they design jewelry inspired by nature and daily life, always prioritizing elegance and quality. Today, they collaborate with regional artisans who share their passion for Taxco’s silversmithing legacy. Each piece reflects both heritage and renewal, carrying the spirit of father and son who see jewelry as more than adornment, but as a way to preserve a centuries-old craft and bring it to admirers around the world.
Crafted in Mexico from 925 sterling silver with a high-polish finish. The earrings measure 0.7 inches L x 0.6 inches W x 0.1 inches D and feature post earrings.
