This prehispanic pendant is born from repousse, one of the oldest techniques in silversmithing. Each relief is formed blow by blow with hand-held punches — what you see on the surface is the result of artisanal decisions, not a machine. The spiral is a prehispanic symbol of eternal movement, of water's journey, of renewal. In 3 centimeters lies an entire cosmology.

Authentic sterling .925 silver with its certificate of authenticity. Taxco repousse is a direct inheritance from the prehispanic goldsmiths who worked in this region centuries ago — today, contemporary artisans keep that craft alive. It's a pendant that speaks for itself: no stones, just form and metal.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition: of silversmiths who chose to preserve inherited craft, not replace it with machines. This pendant is a small doorway to that world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — pendant only. This gives you the freedom to choose the chain that best matches your style. Let us know if you need recommendations.

Q: What is repousse and why does it matter?
A: Repousse is an ancient Taxco technique: the silversmith works from the back with hand punches, gently striking the silver to create reliefs on the front. Each strike is a deliberate choice — no two pendants are exactly alike, even when the design repeats. It's the opposite of mass production.

Q: What does the prehispanic spiral mean?
A: In Mesoamerican cultures, the spiral represents the movement of water, the cyclical journey, eternal renewal. It's a symbol of continuity, perfect for those who honor their roots.
