Esperanza Upcycled Inlaid Onyx & Mother-of-Pearl Clip-On Earrings

A true celebration of heritage craft and sustainable design, the Esperanza Earrings are a one-of-a-kind upcycled creation. The statement drop features a vintage Mexican marquise pendant hand-inlaid with rich black onyx, an iridescent mother-of-pearl floral blossom at its center, and shimmering abalone leaf accents.

Sourced directly from our international artisan travels and paired with hammered sterling silver clip-on hardware collected from specialized gem shows, these earrings carry a deeply personal, traveled story. While meticulously assembled in our studio, the statement components reflect authentic, historic lapidary traditions. Feather-light at just 5 grams per earring with a graceful 2.5-inch (6.35 cm) vertical drop, they feature secure, comfortable clip-on backs designed for effortless wear. Whether styled with tailored eveningwear or classic resort attire, the Esperanza earrings offer an inimitable, conversational focal point.

Artist’s Note

"We love discovering vintage pieces during our travels and giving them a fresh life. The Esperanza earrings combine vintage Mexican inlaid onyx and mother-of-pearl pendants with hammered sterling silver clip findings we collected along the way. Because these are authentic upcycled components, every pair is strictly one-of-a-kind. At just 5 grams each with a 2.5-inch drop and secure clip-on backs, they have an incredible vintage soul that feels completely effortless to wear."
