The Sol Earrings are sculptural .925 sterling silver sun studs set with natural stones, made by hand in our workshop in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico. They're the signature piece of Sol — the first collection we ever made — and the larger of our two sizes. We started with the sun because it's where Mexico starts: a symbol of life, warmth and renewal drawn on these lands for millennia, and one of the most powerful icons in the country's visual heritage. The rays are formed rather than cut. We shape them in media caña — a half-round section drawn to a point, the same technique we use for our Sol pendant and scarf ring. It gives each ray a rounded, dimensional body instead of a flat profile, and it keeps the pair light. Choose your stone: malachite, lapis lazuli, jade or black onyx. We select each one by hand, so no two pairs are alike. They're built to be worn every day, not saved for occasions.

US orders ship from Houston, Texas Care Silver is a living material and will develop a patina over time. Polish it with a silver cloth to bring back the shine, or leave it darker — we like it both ways. Keep the stones away from perfume and household cleaners. Our care guide has the full detail. Questions Are they heavy? No. We built them light on purpose — the media caña forming gives the rays volume without mass, so they read as a statement but sit comfortably all day. The pair weighs about 17 grams. Is there a smaller version? Yes. The Sol Pequeño Earrings are the same design at a smaller scale, if you want the sun a little quieter. Do they match the Sol pendant and scarf ring? Yes — all three are formed the same way, in media caña, so the rays read identically across the pieces. They were made to be worn together. Are the stones natural? Yes. Every stone is natural, hand-selected and cut by our lapidary in Mexico. Color and pattern vary from one pair to the next.
