This 5.8-centimeter pendant captures the essence of the sea in a design that shimmers with every movement. The abalone shell, hand-set at the center, displays natural iridescent reflections — deep blues, ocean greens, and purple accents — that never repeat between two pieces. The silver 950 frame, shaped like a four-petal flower with textured rays in relief, holds the stone as if it were a treasure rescued from the ocean floor.

Made in Taxco using the hand stone setting technique, every point of contact between silver and shell was polished and fitted by the silversmith. Silver 950 (purer than standard 925) ensures durability without sacrificing flexibility — this piece is designed to live with you, not to be stored away.

Taxco has been the world's leading center of artisan silvercraft for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story honors that tradition: every piece that passes through our hands reflects the commitment to craft, authenticity, and respect for the material. This pendant is not a decorative accessory — it is a conversation with the sea and with the hands that shaped it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. The chain is purchased separately — so you choose the length and style you prefer.

Q: Why does the abalone shell change color?
A: That's its nature. Iridescence is a physical property of the shell — the blue, green, and purple reflections shift depending on the angle of light. It's not a flaw; it's the stone's magic.

Q: How do I clean pieces with shell?
A: With a soft microfiber cloth, slightly damp. Avoid saltwater, chlorine, and harsh chemicals — shell is porous and damaged by aggressive agents.
