Saint Benedict has been one of Taxco's oldest devotions. This pendant captures the traditional medal design: the saint on the front, the cross and protection symbols on the back. At 4.4 cm long, it sits visibly at the chest without being excessive — the perfect size for a daily amulet or a gift with spiritual purpose. The .925 silver with its audible hallmark is proof of authenticity.

Crafted using lost-wax casting, an ancestral Taxco technique where the design is modeled in wax, then cast in red-hot silver. No two pieces are identical: each pendant captures variations from the mold, making it unique. The polished finish reveals the metal, while the engraved shadows give depth to the saint's image and symbols.

Taxco has been the birthplace of religious silversmithing for 500 years. Saint Benedict medals are part of the Arte Taxco story — symbols of faith that are inherited, that accompany journeys and decisive moments. Buying this pendant is buying a tradition.

Important: this price is for the pendant without chain. You can pair it with any of our sterling silver chains in different lengths, or use a traditional cord. If you prefer a chain included, write to hola@artetaxco.mx.
