This pendant joins two centuries of silversmithing. Its art-deco frame, with loop details evoking 1920s jewelry, embraces a sculpted black onyx. In Mesoamerican traditions, onyx is a stone of protection — Taxco has carved this stone for centuries, respecting its hardness and deep luster. Each loop around the stone was hand-soldered in pure .925 silver, with the precision that only Taxco craftsmanship guarantees.

The silver carries the .925 hallmark, the official authentication that certifies purity. The onyx was hand-set with exactness, no machinery — only the silversmith's skill and tools. This is what sets an Arte Taxco piece apart from mass production: every contact between silver and stone is deliberate, every solder reflects intention. The result is a pendant weighing 14.4 g, solid, built to be passed down.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. Silver mining was born in its mountains; in its streets, the craft perfected itself under ancestral furnace light. The Arte Taxco story is also the story of pendants like this — pieces that are not manufactured, but built.

The pendant measures 5.2 × 4 cm — large enough for the onyx to breathe, compact enough to wear beneath or over cloth. You decide how to show it when you add the chain of your choice. And when life asks you to let this piece go, the Lifetime Buyback Program ensures your silver never loses value.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, this is the pendant only. The chain is sold separately, so you can pick the one that matches your style.

Q: What is the hallmark?
A: It is Mexico's official authentication mark — it guarantees that the silver is genuine .925. Look at the back of the pendant: you will see 925 engraved.

Q: Does onyx scratch easily?
A: Onyx is more fragile than diamond but harder than most stones. It is a semi-precious stone and requires care: avoid hard impacts and don't drop it.
