A dolphin in silver, made the way Taxco silversmiths have done it for centuries: with a chasing punch, a hammer, and the patience of someone who respects the craft. Every line of the body, every detail of the dorsal fin, was created blow by blow in the workshop. It is not a piece from an industrial mold: it is a living animal in miniature, captured in silver. Its size (3.5 cm) makes it perfect for everyday wear without weight, yet substantial enough for anyone who sees it to know you are wearing something made with intention.

Authentic sterling .925 silver, marked with the hallmark that certifies its purity. Chasing is a technique that demands precision: the artisan strikes from the back of the silver with specialized punches, raising volume and form without cutting the metal. Each piece may vary slightly because no machines are involved — only craft. Learn about the chasing technique and other ways jewelry is made in Taxco.

Taxco has been home to artisanal silver for 500 years. When you choose a piece from Arte Taxco, you are choosing a connection to that tradition: to the workshops that have passed the craft from generation to generation, to the decision to make jewelry by hand when machines could do it. Discover the Arte Taxco story and why Taxco is the world capital of silver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. Sold as the pendant only (3.5 cm). You can purchase a .925 sterling silver chain separately or use one you already own. Email hola@artetaxco.mx if you want recommendations.

Q: What is chasing?
A: An ancient technique where the silversmith gently strikes from the back of the silver with a specialized punch, raising volume and creating relief. The metal is never cut, only shaped. Each strike is a decision, which is why no two pieces are identical.

Q: Can I wear it every day?
A: Yes. The pendant weighs only 4.9 g and is durable. Sterling .925 is built to last. Avoid chlorine (pools) and direct perfume. Clean occasionally with a microfiber cloth.
