This pendant captures the power of prehispanic faces — a design rooted in ancestral strength and deep history. The green malachite, with its natural veining unique to each stone, brings volume and presence to every carved feature. At 5.2 cm, it makes a statement on the chest without overwhelming. The stone is set by hand, each edge fitted so the malachite sits secure and visible in the silver.

Authentic sterling .925, marked with its hallmark on the back. The inlay technique is Taxco tradition: the stone isn't glued, it's mechanically set into the silver — this means durability and the ability to be repaired. Each pendant you see here was assembled and fitted in Taxco by hands trained in the craft.

Taxco has been Mexico's silver capital for 500 years. This prehispanic face honors that legacy — a people who knew how to carve stone and cast metal with purpose. The Arte Taxco story is about keeping that craft alive so pieces like this continue to be born in Guerrero.

The pendant comes without a chain: string it on your own, or buy one separately if you want it fresh. Total design freedom is yours. Buy risk-free: we buy back your silver whenever you decide, no expiration. Learn about the Lifetime Buyback Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. Just the 5.2 cm pendant. String it on a chain you already own or order one from us separately. Ask about our options.

Q: Is the malachite natural?
A: Yes. Malachite is a natural stone with its own veining—each pendant has unique patterns. It's soft: avoid direct blows and harsh chemicals.

Q: Can I wear this pendant every day?
A: Yes, but with care. Malachite is softer than quartz or diamond. Avoid direct friction with rough fabric and store it separately from other jewelry when not wearing it.
