A subtle cross that makes its presence felt. At 5 centimeters long, it's the perfect scale — noticed but not overwhelming. The Taxco openwork does the heavy lifting here: every cut is a jeweler's decision, and one mistake ruins the piece. That's why each pendant that reaches your hand is one-of-a-kind — hand-cut with a jeweler's saw, a craft that takes years to master and minutes of total focus to execute.

Sterling .925 silver with its hallmark guarantee. The polished finish reveals the depth of each cutout, the voids that define the form. Openwork technique is a signature of Taxco silversmithing: it demands steady hands, sharp tools, and the patience that only the craft can teach.

Taxco has been the world's heart of silversmithing for 500 years. In those mountains of Guerrero, silver isn't just melted — it's scraped, cut, carved. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition reaching your neck — no shortcuts, with the rigor of those who know silver deserves respect.
