This .950 silver cross is a symbol of faith crafted with Taxco precision. The deep blue lapis lazuli, a sacred stone since pre-Hispanic times, is inlaid directly into the silver — each segment placed and sealed by hand by master silversmiths of the Taxco craft. The light weight (2.8 g) makes it perfect to wear near your heart without fatigue, and the polished finish reflects the solemnity of its spiritual meaning.
.950 silver is purer than .925, giving it particular luminosity and greater durability. It carries the official Taxco hallmark engraved on the base. This is real jewelry: not a fashion pendant, but a devotional piece that transcends generations. The lapis lazuli inlay, a technique requiring watchmaker's precision, ensures each color section remains in place for decades.
Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silvercraft for over 500 years. Every cross that leaves its workshops is heir to a tradition that begins in conquest and flourishes in the present. The Arte Taxco story is the story of preserving this endangered craft. When you buy this cross, you are not buying an object: you are buying the continuity of a tradition that could have been lost.
