A lapis lazuli cross in deep blue, set in .950 silver with the precision of Taxco's craft. At 4.5 centimeters long, it's the perfect size for daily wear without weight or show. The blue-green of lapis speaks of depth and protection — a stone valued by pre-Hispanic civilizations. Every piece carries the hand of the artisan who set the stone, without machine shortcuts: the silver holds the gem with care.

Sterling .950 silver — 95% pure, with certificate of authenticity. The hallmark stamped on the base certifies that this silver comes from Taxco, where for 500 years craftspeople have perfected the art of setting stones in silver. It's not just metal: it's the Arte Taxco story in your hands.

Taxco is synonymous with artisanal silvercraft. Since the 16th century, the goldsmiths of this city have carved, set, and inlaid stones in silver with a patience modern artisans barely understand. This cross is proof of that heritage: every scratch in the silver, every shade of lapis blue, tells the story of a craft that endures.
