The weight in your palm (29 grams) guarantees solidity; every curved line and every stone was positioned manually. This is not a fragile pendant: it is a declaration of faith made from noble metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterling .950 is superior to .925: only 5% alloy versus 7.5%, making it softer, more ductile, closer to pure metal. In Taxco, artisans who work .950 are specialists — it demands different mastery of heat, soldering, final polish. This pendant carries the .950 hallmark, a government certification mark guaranteeing the purity. Hand-set stone inlay is pure craft: each onyx was measured, set without press or machinery, adjusted to the millimeter to stay secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco: 500 years as the world capital of handmade silver. The workshops of the historic center inherit Colonial techniques — soldering, stone-setting, metalworking — that are now heritage. This cross is born from that tradition, from the same craft that has seen five centuries of master hands. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003eThe Art of Taxco story\u003c\/a\u003e is the story of that city: silver, faith, and artisanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy risk-free.
