This pendant captures the grace of the whale in its purest form. Each tail is carved with precision in .950 silver — the highest purity grade worked by Taxco's silversmiths. The fire opal inlay is not machine-made: every stone is set by hand into its silver bed, meaning no two pendants are exactly alike. At just 3 centimeters long, it's the perfect addition to any chain you already own — or the start of discovering which one feels right for you.
Sterling .950 with its hallmark guarantees authenticity. The technique of hand stone inlay is the work of artisans who spend hours on each stone, ensuring the light of the fire opal shines from every angle. This level of detail exists only in Taxco, where 500 years of silversmithing tradition have perfected every hammer blow and every setting.
Taxco is synonymous with artisanal silver worldwide. Since the conquest, the silversmiths of this city have mastered techniques lost to history, transforming silver into stories. Every piece by Arte Taxco honors that tradition. It's not simply an object: it's a fragment of the mastery that has made Taxco the silver capital of Mexico — and the world.
