This snail pendant is an ode to the sea and the nature that inspires Taxco's silversmith tradition. At nearly 5 centimeters tall, the snail appears proportionate when worn — neither too large nor understated — and its sterling silver casting captures every curve and spiral of the shell with a precision only lost-wax casting can achieve. The polished finish gives an elegant look that catches light, letting the natural form shine as jewelry.

Precision casting is a technique requiring mastery: every detail of the snail — from the opening to the spirals — must be perfect in the wax mold before transformation into silver. It is a process that respects the material and time, typical of Taxco's craft. The pendant carries the certificate of authenticity, guaranteed .925 silver.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years — since conquistadors discovered Guerrero's mines, until today, when silversmiths like those who cast your snail keep that tradition alive. Every piece cast in Taxco inherits centuries of technique and passion for the metal. The Arte Taxco story is born of that tradition.

This pendant comes alone, without a chain — you choose what chain accompanies it. This lets you adapt the length and thickness to your taste. Buy with confidence: your silver always has value.
