This turtle pendant captures nature's essence in solid .925 silver. The piece combines Taxco casting with careful fire opal setting, whose blue and green flashes reflect light like captured ocean. Each turtle is one-of-a-kind: the opal's inclusions never repeat, making it an irreplaceable talisman. At 5.5 cm, it's a piece that commands presence and turns heads when worn.

The .925 silver bears the Taxco Hallmark, proof of authenticity. The combined technique of casting and hand-setting is signature to Taxco's silversmithing: the fire opal was placed and fixed by hand, without industrial press. It's not just a pendant — it's proof of hours of artisan labor.

Taxco, Mexico, has been the heart of American silvercraft for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story continues that legacy with pieces that honor the craft and its origin. Every pendant cast in Taxco preserves the wisdom of centuries of master silversmiths who made this town the world capital of artisan silver.
