A miniature horseshoe, the size of a large coin — an ancestral symbol of protection and abundance. This sterling .925 pendant is pure geometry: every cutout was made by hand with a jeweler's saw, a technique that demands the precision of a watchmaker. The result is a lightweight, elegant piece ready to thread onto any chain you choose.

Cutout work is one of Taxco's most demanding techniques. It is not casting, not repousse. It is carving: each line of the horseshoe is cut into the silver sheet, and any mistake scraps the entire piece. That is why the cutout technique is a mark of genuine craft. Authentic sterling with verified hallmark .925 — buy with confidence.

Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing for 500 years. This horseshoe comes from the same place where master jewelers perfected cutout work decades ago, where the tradition of carving silver with precision passes from one generation to the next. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that legacy in your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, pendant only. This gives you the freedom to choose the chain you prefer — thickness, length, style. Most of our customers pair it with Cartier or curb chains, 2–4 mm.

Q: What is cutout (calado)?
A: An ancient technique in which the jeweler carves the design into the silver sheet with a hand-held saw. Every line must be precise — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Q: Can I return or exchange if I change my mind?
A: Yes. If you are not in love within the first 30 days, we refund your money. And you can always sell your pendant back through our Lifetime Buyback Program.
