'Elegant Rivals,' onyx chess set

Luminous stone brings visual power to this exceptional chess set by the Sierra family. Starkly contrasting colors of onyx are showcased in a game set of true beauty. The Sierra family carefully selects the material before cutting it with a diamond disc, employing large quantities of water to avoid fractures in the stone. Once the general shape is achieved, the surfaces are filed with emery and given a final polish.

Because each piece is sculpted individually, there may be slight variations in the color and pattern of the stone.

Sierra Family

Odette Sierra is from the beautiful Mexican state of Puebla. Her father Edgar Sierra first opened their workshop 30 years ago. Their town is renowned throughout Mexico for its carvings in onyx and marble. Submerged in this artistic heritage, the Sierras began crafting parquet tables in onyx and marble. During the history of their workshop they have come to perfect the fabrication of innumerable items, including chess sets, game sets, vases, sculptures, bathroom fixtures, and jewelry boxes.

The principal materials of the Sierra Family, onyx and marble, are mined in the Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca. A diamond disk is used to sculpt the stone, accompanied by large quantities of water. Once the desired shape is achieved the artisans finish the surface with emery board and a polisher.

The art of sculpting marble and onyx demands patience and virtue, both of which have been cultivated over time in the Sierra Family workshop.
