weekend jewelry

These minimalist stud earrings are the perfect piece for both work and the weekend. Alon Diller handcrafts them in 950 silver and gives the pair a high-polish hammered finish.

Born in Israel, Alon Diller made his way to Mexico after traveling through Africa and the Americas. He fell in love with Mexican silversmithing while in Taxco, and stayed there to perfect his jewelry-making skills.

Gold lovers will delight in Ayu Widiani's luxurious creation. The Balinese artisan crafts the bracelet from a wide panel of gold-colored polyester mesh, capping both ends with a gold-plated brass bar for an elegant effect. The bracelet fastens with a gold-plated brass toggle clasp.

Indonesian artisan Antarina creates a gorgeous set of ear cuffs for your next festival or concert weekend. Sterling silver leaves feather out to wrap around the ear, replete with boho-styled inspiration.

It may seem strange that Oscar Figueroa Escorcia, a silversmith from the high mountain town of Taxco, Mexico, should choose to create sterling silver earrings with a seashell motif. However, both Taxco and Acapulco are in the state of Guerrero, only a few hours ride and a popular weekend getaway.
