This pendant portrays the Virgin of Guadalupe with all the devotion of Taxco silversmithing. The face and halo are hand-repoussé from the back, creating volume and depth that photos barely capture. Around the central image, eight blue lapis lazuli settings—sacred color, symbol of the divine—form a circle of protection. The base is textured with hand-hammered technique that catches the light, making each lapis lazuli shine like a small act of faith. At 5.4 cm, it's a generous size for a pendant: visible, tangible, worn with intention.

The sterling .925 is authentic, marked with its hallmark. The stone settings are manual—each lapis lazuli placed by hand, no machines—and that is why they take hours. The Virgin of Guadalupe is one of the most requested motifs in Taxco workshops because this is where art meets faith: it is not decoration, it is devotion.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for five centuries. Every pendant from our workshops carries that legacy: inherited techniques, hands trained in the craft since childhood, decisions no machine can make. The Virgin of Guadalupe in silver is not a novelty; she is a classic that Mexico has worn around the neck, on wrists, and on altars since Taxco silver began.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, just the pendant. The chain is sold separately in sterling .925. We can recommend one for you; email hola@artetaxco.mx.

Q: What is this combined technique?
A: The Virgin's face is hand-repoussé (hammered from the back with punches) for depth, and the stones are set by hand. Two Taxco traditions in one piece.

Q: Is the lapis lazuli natural?
A: Yes, it's natural lapis lazuli. Like all natural stone, each one has its own specs and tone variations within the blue — that's what makes it authentic.
