A small but radiant pendant: the turtle is an ancient symbol of stability and wisdom in pre-Hispanic cultures and world mythology. This Taxco design plays with two tones of brilliance — the blue fire opal on the shell, which catches green and violet flashes as light moves, and the rainbow circonia framing the carapace, multiplying the glow. Modest size (2.5 cm long), but the impact is striking worn at the neck against skin.

Crafted in .950 sterling silver — purer than .925 — with stones hand-set in Taxco. Each inlay is an artisan's decision: the stone is not fixed by industrial press, but by traditional jewelry technique that ensures each tone shines in its place. The matte finish of the silver contrasts with the polished brightness of the gems, creating visual depth.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Every piece born from its workshops inherits that legacy: precision, attention to detail, and the honesty of a stone that is what it appears to be. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No; the price is for the pendant only. You can use any chain you own or select one from our silver collection.

Q: What is rainbow circonia?
A: Circonia (cubic zirconia, a crystal gemstone) with a finish that reflects rainbow colors. It is not diamond, but captures light similarly and is much more affordable.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 silver is purer (95% vs 91.5%), making it more hypoallergenic and with a slightly brighter white shine. Ideal for sensitive skin.
