This religious pendant is an act of devotion carved in silver. The open-armed Christ, surrounded by wings that ripple from a concentric halo, becomes a talisman of spiritual protection. At 4 cm tall, it's the perfect size to wear your faith visibly without excess — just the size of a large coin, yet with all the presence of Taxco silversmithing.

Made with the cartoneado technique, a Taxco craft little known outside Guerrero, this pendant begins as a sheet of silver that is folded and soldered to create three-dimensional volume. Each radiant line in the halo was incised by hand; each fold of the wings honors the human form of the crucified body. It carries the .925 hallmark stamped at the base — proof of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Since the city's founding in the 16th century, the region's goldsmiths have perfected techniques their great-grandparents inherited. Cartoneado, in particular, is a craft requiring watchmaker precision and patience — today, very few artisans master it. This pendant is part of Taxco's living tradition.
