This pendant captures a portrait in high relief against sterling silver .925, framed by radiating lines that evoke light and reverence. Each hammer strike from the artisan's hand leaves its mark — no two pendants are identical. At 2.5 cm, it sits discreetly at the chest, perfect for keeping close an image that matters. The repousse technique, hammered from the reverse, gives volume and presence to the portrait without sacrificing delicacy.

Crafted in authentic sterling silver .925 with its hallmark stamped, this pendant carries the tradition of Taxco repousse, a craft that demands the precision of a watchmaker and the patience of a master silversmith. Each pendant is a small sculpture — its value lies not only in the material, but in the hours of manual labor behind it.

Taxco has been a center of silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the story of masters who inherited this craft, generation after generation, transforming silver into pieces that tell stories. Every repousse pendant is a witness to that heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can add a sterling silver .925 chain of your choice or use one you already own.

Q: What is repousse?
A: An ancient technique where the artisan hammers silver from the back with specialized punches, creating volume and detail on the front. Each strike is intentional — that's why every piece is one-of-a-kind.

Q: Is it fragile?
A: No. While the texture is delicate, sterling silver .925 is durable. Avoid direct blows and scratches; a microfiber cloth is your best friend for care.
