This 4.5 cm pendant captures the essence of pre-Hispanic craftsmanship in every line. The wraparound form and geometric patterns echo the precision of ancient Mesoamerican goldsmiths, while the hand-set green fire opal glints with colors that shift in the light. More than jewelry — it's a symbol of power and connection to the roots of Mexico's ancient cultures.

Crafted in .950 sterling — the highest purity — with each stone placed by hand. The stone-setting process in Taxco is an art that takes hours of precision: the craftsperson secures the opal without machines or presses, allowing the stone to sit naturally within its silver frame. The result is a piece that merges ancient symbolism with modern mastery.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silver for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the story of masters who inherit this craft generation by generation, interpreting ancient symbols with today's hands. Every pre-Hispanic pendant we release is a conversation between past and present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The 4.5 cm pendant is sold alone. You can choose any chain from our collection or purchase one separately.

Q: What is hand-set stone inlay?
A: Each opal is secured manually into its silver frame without machines or presses. This allows precise placement and lets the stone breathe naturally within the silver.

Q: Why is 4.5 cm the ideal size?
A: Large enough to showcase the pre-Hispanic design and fire opal, but not so heavy it strains the chain. Proportional to any frame.
