A pendant just 3.3 centimeters that fits in your palm yet radiates the quiet power of malachite. Deep green, with natural veining that never repeats — each stone is one of a kind. The setting is pure silver, worked by hand to hold the stone without machine pressure — the way it has been done in Taxco for five centuries.
Authentic sterling .925, set in Taxco using traditional metalworking technique. Every gesture of the artisan — the polish, the adjustment of the bezel — respects the fragility of malachite. There is no visible hallmark, but the quality of the silver and its weight confirm it. Request a certificate of authenticity if you wish.
Taxco is the capital of handcrafted silver worldwide for 500 years. Here, on the slopes of Guerrero, tradition is not a story — it is craft in your hands. Every piece from Arte Taxco carries that legacy: noble metal, hands that know their trade, time that honors the stone.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does it come with a chain?
R: No. The price is for the pendant alone. Buy a silver chain separately from us or use one you already have — that way you control the length and style.
Q: Is the malachite natural?
R: Yes. It is natural stone, which means each one has its own veining and tone variations. The green lines are authentic.
Q: How is the stone set?
R: By hand, no machines. The artisan adjusts the silver around the stone carefully so it does not crack. That is why each setting is slightly different.
