This pendant captures the classic design in pure silver — front with the figure of the saint, reverse with the Benedictine cross and peace symbols.

Embossing is a centuries-old Taxco craft, where every punch strike is a conscious decision. No two medals are identical: each bears the fingerprints of the maker's hand. Sterling .925 with its hallmark guarantees authenticity and durability; the polished finish reflects light with a clean, bright shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003eThe Arte Taxco story\u003c\/a\u003e is one of master silversmiths who inherit techniques across generations, seeing in each piece a chance to honor the craft.
