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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#10022; Authentic sterling .925 silver with hallmark\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#10022; Hand-repoussé and hand-set work from Taxco\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#10022; Natural blue lapis lazuli in eight stones\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#10022; Symbol of spiritual protection\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#10022; Risk-free: buyback up to 35% with no expiration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#127873; Faith-driven gifts\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#128141; Spiritual protection seekers\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u0026#128100; Collectors of Taxco religious art\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements \u0026 Shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pendant measures 5.4 cm long by 2.7 cm wide — visible size for the neck, bracelet, or keychain. \u003cstrong\u003eImportant: pendant only, chain not included\u003c\/strong\u003e.
