This onyx pendant captivates through sheer restraint. The deep black of the onyx, polished until it mirrors light, nests in a cradle of .950 silver — purer than sterling .925, because Taxco demands it. Each piece is hand-set: the artisan positions the stone millimeter by millimeter, ensuring it rests perfectly in its silver frame. No machine does this work; it is patience and craft.

The .950 silver bears its hallmark, a guarantee of authenticity. Onyx carries history — ancient civilizations attributed to it the power to ground and calm. Today, it is pure beauty: understated, timeless, compatible with every style. The weight (12.51 g) reflects the generosity of the silver and the presence of the stone. Every piece includes a certificate of authenticity.

Taxco: five centuries as the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. Every pendant that leaves its workshops carries that tradition — inherited precision, respect for the stone, soldering that endures. The Arte Taxco story is the story of artisans who love silver as few love anything in life.
