Every pendant is a small world. The malachite that lives in this piece brings its own green lines, veins that never repeat — nature's signature. At just 3.2 cm long, it's versatile enough for daily wear under any blouse, or striking bare skin on summer evenings. Its featherweight (under 2 grams) guarantees comfort without sacrificing presence.
The .950 silver, pure and refined, receives the stone through hand-set inlay — a technique demanding millimetric precision. Every Taxco artisan learns over years how to carve, polish, and adjust the setting so the stone rests secure without mechanical clamps or shortcuts. With the hallmark as proof of authenticity, you know you're holding real silver in your hands.
Taxco, the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for five centuries, has perfected the art of working natural stones in silver. From the Spanish conquest to today, each pendant is a link in that chain of craft. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition brought to your jewelry box.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, just the pendant. The chain is your choice — pick the length and thickness you love most.
Q: What is hand-set stone inlay?
A: The artisan carves a space in the silver, fits the stone piece by piece, and secures it without mechanical presses. Each setting is hours of work.
Q: Does malachite scratch easily?
A: It's a soft stone, so avoid prolonged rubbing against rough surfaces. Store the pendant in its case when not wearing it.
