Just under 5 centimeters long, the perfect size to make a statement without overwhelming. Every scale, every detail of the frog's face is decorated with tiny marcasite stones placed by hand — a technique that defines the art-deco style of the 1920s and 30s, now revived in Taxco's workshops with the same precision as always.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarcasite is polished iron pyrite, and while not a diamond or precious stone, it has a hypnotic, almost metallic shine that captures light in an unmistakable way. In Taxco, silversmiths have used marcasite for decades to recreate that vintage elegance collectors seek today. The .925 silver that holds each stone carries the hallmark stamped inside — proof that it's authentic silver, not plating, but real jewelry made in Mexico's heart of silversmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco is home to this craft. For 500 years, the silversmiths of this city have written the history of handcrafted silver in Latin America. Every piece that leaves Taxco — every pendant, ring, and necklace — is a link in that chain of tradition. When you wear jewelry from Arte Taxco, you carry not just a beautiful object, but the legacy of generations of artisans who learned their craft from their grandparents and their grandparents before them. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003eThe Arte Taxco story\u003c\/a\u003e is the story of keeping that knowledge alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd because we know your silver is an investment, not an impulse, we offer the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/programa-joya-de-por-vida\"\u003eLifetime Buyback Program\u003c\/a\u003e: when you decide this pendant no longer fits your style, we buy it back.
