A miniature starfish, the size of a one-dollar coin, that fits in the palm of your hand. Each silver sphere is soldered individually using the granulation technique, one of the oldest in silversmithing — pre-Hispanic, even. When light touches the surface, you see the movement of thousands of points of light. It is a whisper of a pendant, not a shout: perfect for someone who wants to carry a symbol of nature without drama.

Authentic .925 sterling silver, marked with the Taxco hallmark. It is not plated or coated silver: it is solid silver, granulated by hand in the heart of Mexican silversmithing. The granulation technique is ancient — the Aztecs knew it — and requires each tiny silver ball to be soldered without melting the design. It is the precision of a master goldsmith.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. Since the 16th century, the silversmiths of this Guerrero city have passed their knowledge from generation to generation. Granulation is one of the techniques that defines Taxco: a craft at risk of extinction outside of Guerrero, but alive and thriving here. When you buy a granulated piece from Arte Taxco, you buy history — and you support the hands keeping that tradition alive.
