Cartoneado is a little-known technique outside Guerrero: silver is shaped into 3D volume without internal filling, giving lightness without sacrificing presence. This pendant measures 3 centimeters — about the size of a Mexican 5-peso coin — so it reads as substantial on any chain, without being excessive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthentic sterling .925, with the hallmark stamped on the reverse. The mirror polish reflects light with every movement, and the absence of stones lets the form speak for itself. A devotional piece or simply elegant, depending on who wears it. Made in Taxco, where the cross has been a silversmith motif for five centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003ecraft of Taxco began in 1534\u003c\/a\u003e, when silver reached the Sierra mines. Since then, the silversmiths of Guerrero have perfected inherited techniques—like cartoneado—that no machine can replicate. Every cross from Taxco carries that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy risk-free.
