This prehispanic pendant unites the ritual geometry of ancient Mesoamerican peoples with the precision of Taxco silver. Black onyx, a stone of power and protection since prehispanic times, rests set in a design of clean, symmetrical lines — a piece that speaks without shouting, worn as amulet or aesthetic statement. Every detail of the silver frame was crafted to frame the intensity of the onyx, creating a contrast that catches light without competing with the stone.

Forged in authentic sterling silver .925 with its certificate of authenticity, this piece combines controlled casting with hand stone setting and artisanal polishing. The onyx, cut in polished cabochon, rests secure in its frame, visible from every angle. A work of precision that respects both material and motif.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for over 500 years, and every piece of Arte Taxco inherits that tradition. The silversmiths of Taxco know silver as few in the world do — how to work it, how to make it tell stories. This pendant is the result of that knowledge: the Art of Taxco story engraved in precious metal.
