"For as long as I can remember, I have always been keen on handicrafts, especially jewelry, which I started making when I was a teen. I was born in Israel and traveled through Africa and America, always challenging myself to make different designs with what I found in the different countries I visited, such as wires, seeds, gems, bamboo, ceramic, and bone amongst others.

"In 1995 I arrived in Mexico and became enthralled by the quantity, quality and variety of artesanias. I traveled up and down the country until someone told me about Taxco, describing it to me as the 'jewelry capital of the world.' When I came and discovered their art school, I just knew this was the place for me!

"I enrolled in Mexico's renowned National University (UNAM) where I learned about design, drawing, art history, lapidating, engraving, photography and of course, jewelry-making. By the time I finished in 1999 I felt I had gained a solid foundation that has allowed me to develop my own style and design. My collections have been well-received throughout Mexico.

"As form of expression, through jewelry I am able share what I observe, what I think and what I experience. When I'm designing I search for beauty, aesthetics and elegance. I look for a way to leave my personal mark.

"My favorite themes include contrasts, textures, contemporary designs and geometry. I enjoy transforming the old into the new. They say 'there's nothing new under the sun,' but there are always thousands of ways to create a piece to renew it."

The black of the obsidian and yellow of the citrine really "pop" in these earrings. They are such a unique design and they feel good in my ears and look lovely (better than the photos). I was looking for a pair of Taxco earrings to match an onyx sterling silver bracelet and pendant and these are perfect.

Amy

This is a really versatile band ring. Unisex. I love the comfort of the ring and it's texture.

Joyce

When I wear clothes that go with this stone, I like them very much.

Laurie

Really love jewelry from Taxco. Would love to travel there sometime.

Dawn

John

great piece, made well, many compliments....girlfriend loves it so much

Melanie

The design is good, but my stones were not as bright and colorful as pictured. Well mad for what they are.

Karin M

Recipient loved the set

Charmaine

These are well made, a wonderful weight for my everyday wear.

Judith

I like this artist’s clean, contemporary style . Pieces are beautifully rendered. I wish it were possible to but pendants with or without the chain and that clasps were larger

Annie

It is simple and elegant and feels very good on your finger; comfortable and has a beautiful shine. Love it!

Stacy

These earrings are lovely, with impeccable attention to detail. The metal is polished to mirror-like shine, and even the ear hooks are high-quality. I was also pleased with how light they are, while still being substantial and not flimsy. Very happy with this purchase!

Katherine

These earrings are lovely. The brushed sliver is subtle and the earrings are soooo comfortable. Thank you!!!

Bona

These earrings are beautifully made and finished. The turquoise stones are a nice contrast to the bright sterling silver. I recommend purchasing them.

Midge

I had a major birthday during a pandemic so I decided to celebrate with a tattoo done by my nephew. It is a hummingbird and these lovely earrings make a perfect companion to it. I love those birds and I especially love this version of them done by a talented artist. They are larger than I expected and appear to be kissing my cheeks when I wear them!

Lisa

Lovely earrings. Just as described!

Sally

Just received these sturdy, unique and gorgeous earrings. Love these unique and very well made baubles. Am sure they will be worn often. Will be purchasing this artist's work again. Thanks!

Chelsea

Perfect size. Goes with everything

Sue

I love the earrings They are beautifully crafted

Jane E

These earrings are beautifully made. I love the way the post connects to the ear through the top circle. That way, the earrings are always facing front and can be easily seen. They are super lightweight to wear. They look different from other earrings I own or have seen, and they go with dressed up or dressed down outfits. So happy I purchased these! Thank you!

Annie

Exactly as shown.

Jennifer

These earrings are totally stunning! The design is unique and the quality is excellent. Love them!

Brian

Very appealing due to the sophisticated simplicity of design while being very elegant. Craftsmanship is impeccable!

Devorah

I wanted a pair of black gemstone earrings. The citrine gemstones add to the unique design of these beautiful earrings. I choose to wear these obsidian earrings for the protection properties that this stone offers in that they help you avoid negative and harmful energies from others. I've never seen a design like this in any retail shops that I deal with. These have an Asian flair to them with the cross piece that runs along the top of the design. These earrings started me on my journey to add other pieces to match. I am very happy with the work of the artisan and would certainly make more purchases in the future from the same artisan.

Celeste

This is a work of art - I wear it often, as turquoise is one of my favorite colors/stones. I also have the matching pendant.

Linda

I bought this ring to add to 3 other stacking rings and it finishes off the ser beautifully.

Jeannine

bright turquoise earrings that are well made

Annielaurie

These earrings are a perfect match to the pendant, but they pair well with other silver jewelry. The design is timeless -- they look great with more traditional silver jewelry as well as with modern pieces.

Bethann

Perfect length for my short neck. Well crafted. The silver is sturdy and beautifully shaped. Pearls have the perfect gleam.

Nancy

I like the easy movement of these earrings as well as the dollop of turquoise. Both the silver and the pinkish metal highlight the turquoise.

Sue

This is an absolutely stunning piece. So intricately crafted and simply stated. Gorgeous piece!

Terri

Very shiny & nice quality!

Brenda

The earrings are well made and a unique style. I just adore wearing these earrings and always get great compliments!

Stephanie

Very well made and comfortable. Just as pictured. Great for everyday

J.L.

Lovely earrings that go well with my other turquoise jewelry. Well made.

Maria

Sweet representation of my favorite bird. Quality craftsmanship.

Ardyth

I love the personality of these stunning earrings. They are fun. They are elegant.

Laurel

I bought these for myself and my mother liked them so much that I bought her a pair as well.

Wendy

Beautiful earring....compliments every time I wear them.

Susan

When I receved these I thought they might be too small even though the decrption indicated their size. Once I put them on, though, I realize they are perfect size and the stones are very pretty and the silver setting is very comfortable and go with everything. Very glad I purchased them.

Jean

Beautiful earrings, they fall perfectly and are stylish and unique. Love!

Susan

Love these earrings. Dime-sized but substantial.

Paige

Call me strange if you want to...but I got these because they remind me of crop circles or constellations. They are lovely in person. Kind of rustic and futuristic all at once. The hammered metal lends an antique feel to these treasures. Obviously master crafted.

Dale

I purchased the ring that matches this piece, and I am crazy in love with it. I am not quite as enthusiastic about this necklace though. The turquoise is an amazing milky color, and gorgeous, but this substantial stone sits at the very bottom of a very thin and narrow plate of hammered silver, and I keep wishing there was a bit more to the silver background. Still beautiful though.

Deborah

I always provoke comments and get complements when I wear this; strangers lean in to openly look at them and ask me where I got them. And I tell.

Suzanne

These little hummingbirds are wonderfully crafted.Underplayed just right so that the magic belongs to them.Something of their sturdiness is offset by something oftheir minuteness and fragility.The detail is simply right.I bought them for a friend who absolutely lovesher hummingbirds ~ and the earrings still, manymanymanywearrings later, make her smile.These are highly recommended!

Patricia

Understated and perfect.

Glynda

Gorgeous earrings, delicate with intricate detail like little sculptures. Looks absolutely wonderful wi the matching Taxco At Dusk pendant necklace.

Kathy

I bought the set, necklace, ring, and earrings . I get so many compliments on them all.

Kathy

I bought the set, necklace, ring, and earrings . I get so many compliments on them all.

Maxine

Beautiful earring set. Substantial but not too heavy. I love the graceful swirls and pearls set off my white hair. These are really attractive

Ann

Love these earrings. Beautiful and well made.

Liz

Detail is lovely and earrings look very pretty on ear lobe. The quality is very good and they look like the cost should be a lot higher

Robert

These remind me of Alexander Calder's mobiles.

Mary

These earrings are absolutely beautiful. They will be given to someone as a gift and I couldn't be more happy. So glad they are signed as well! Thank you so much for sharing your art!

Kenneth

It was smaller than I thought. Other than that it appears to be very nice work.

Joyce

Curvy Beauty, pearl drop earrings are stunning, sophisticated. Will improve the appearance of the wearer. I bought the matching pendant, choker by the same artist. The pearls have a slight grayish cast with is good. Happy with purchase.

Diane

Great design..love it's of nature

Deborah

Love these. Small but go great with the matching ring which is bold and lovely.

Joyce

Dewdrop earrings make a strong, bold beautiful statement. These earring are best worn without the necklace of the same design.

Joyce

Taxco at Dusk, attractive design, not too heavy on the ear. Like the combination of materials used to make an artistic designed earring.

Joyce

Taxco Pendulums, earrings are entirely sterling silver and have a simple design that makes it easy to match up with necklaces.

Deborah

These earrings are gorgeous, a very unique design. They are a bit heavy ( I should have paid more attention to the specifications in the description) and they are larger than I anticipated. That being said, I love these earrings. They make a very bold statement.

Diane

These earrings are beautifully made and go perfectly with the ring by the same artist. I will be wearing them often.

Joyce

I like to wear the earrings with the stone in a position that appears to be backward when looking at it in the hand because when on the ear it was possible to see the design from a front view and was flattering to my face.The design of the earrings are too bold and outstanding to be worn with the 'Dove of Love' necklace and the lapis lazuli stone on the necklace is very dark compared the color of lapis lazuli on the necklace. No need to wear a necklace because these beautifully designed earrings can standout on their own.

Joann

These earrings are absolutely beautiful. I bought them as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She is going to love them. Thank you Alon!

Melissa

These earrings are not only stylish but also beautifully crafted. The silver is light, but not flimsy.I prefer my earrings on the lighter side so they don't pull on my ear lobes. These were a Christmas gift my husband let me pick out for myself .

Kellie

Nice quality, beautiful stones, exactly as pictured!

Gaill

Taxco is such an amazing group of exceptional artists. These earrings exemplify that excellence. These make a bold, contemporary statement and frame the face beautifully. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because they are the same size as the necklace. I would have preferred that the earrings have been slightly smaller than the necklace.

Ardyth

This stone is lovely and the setting and cut show off so very nicely.

Marian

These earrings are simply beautiful. They are a work of art in design and made with the highest level of skill.

Sumitra

Unique design, very beautiful.

Laura

These earrings are beautiful and dreamy. They really take you to a Taxco sunset. Absolutely lavable!

Ellen

The "Hummingbird Secrets" earrings are absolutely beautiful! If you're a nature lover, you will adore this item. The earrings are big enough to be noticed (neither too small nor too large) and very stylish. I'm wearing them now!

Barbara

I have owned these earrings for 2 or 3 years and wear them frequently. They are incredible and I get so many compliments on them. Love them.

Victoria

This looks stunning with the Turquoise pendant necklace, 'Taxco at Dusk'!

Aruna

Beautiful Chrysocolla in high quality handcrafted silver settings. These are very special. Highly recommend this artist.
