This repousse cross bears the unmistakable mark of Taxco silversmithing: every relief was hammered from the back, strike by strike, with no machine shortcuts. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece where light plays across the curves and the floral arms open with movement. At 5 cm long, it sits perfectly close to the chest — visible but understated, neither ostentatious nor hidden.

Sterling .925 with authentic hallmark guarantees purity. The repousse technique, though less known outside Taxco than filigree, is equally demanding: it requires a jeweler's precision, steady hands, and years of practice. Each cross is an act of patience — no two are identical because the hammer is not a machine.

Taxco is not just a place on the map: it is 500 years of unbroken silversmithing tradition. This cross is heir to that legacy. The Arte Taxco story begins with a commitment to honor that craft, piece by piece, without compromise. When you wear this cross, you carry both the symbolic weight of faith and the real weight of the craftsmanship that made it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, this is the pendant only. You can add any silver chain or material you prefer — the pendant adapts to any standard bail size.

Q: What is repousse?
A: A technique where the silversmith hammers the metal from the back using specialized punches to create relief. It is slower than casting and takes hours of work. Each cross is unique because the hand never strikes exactly the same way twice.

Q: Can I customize it or order a different size?
A: Yes, custom orders are available. Write to hola@artetaxco.mx with your request.
