This turtle pendant is a journey in silver: each scale is worked in relief, creating volume and movement, as if the creature just emerged from the water. The green fire opal, hand-set into the shell compartments, breathes with light — green tones that shift as you move it. The turtle is a Pre-Hispanic symbol of longevity and wisdom, and here it comes alive in a piece that merges precise casting with the artisanal touch of Taxco craftsmanship.

Cast in .950 sterling silver, Taxco's highest purity. The hallmark guarantees its authenticity and lasting value. The combined technique pairs the solidity of casting with hand-setting of the opal — each stone placed individually so it shines with nature. A generous piece in weight (24.58 g) that feels real in your hand.

Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing for 500 years. Every pendant that leaves its workshops carries that tradition — it is not just metal, it is craft passed down through generations. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that respect for silver.

This pendant does NOT include a chain — you buy it separately, choosing the length and gauge you prefer. It fits any link. And when you decide it is no longer for you, we buy it back without expiration, up to 35%. Your silver always holds value.
