The Saint Benedict Medal is far more than jewelry — it's a symbol of protection rooted in medieval Catholic tradition. This 2.7-centimeter pendant captures the solemnity of the classic design in .925 sterling silver, with every detail hand-engraved and reinforced by micro-zirconia set stone by stone. The pattern of tiny gems creates a pavé effect that multiplies light, giving the piece presence without bulk. It's perfect for someone seeking meaning and artisanal beauty in a discrete accessory.

The silver is authentic .925 — it carries the Mexican hallmark as a certificate of authenticity. Each micro-zirconia stone is set by hand, one at a time, which is why every medal catches light in its own way. The finish combines mirror polish at the center (where Saint Benedict's relief is deepest) with matte areas around it — a touch only Taxco's craft achieves.

Taxco has been the world's capital of silversmithing for 500 years. Every religious pendant that leaves its workshops inherits a tradition of precision, devotion, and art passed down through generations. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that mastery: from casting to setting, everything respects techniques that are Mexico's cultural heritage. When you buy a piece of Arte Taxco, you buy that legacy.

Chain not included — you buy the pendant alone, so you can choose the chain that matches your style. That's a commitment: the medal is worth what it costs, and you decide how to wear it. That's honest artisanal jewelry. Learn about our Lifetime Buyback Program: buy risk-free. We buy back your medal whenever you decide, up to 35% in store credit, with no expiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No — the pendant is sold alone. You can purchase a .925 sterling silver chain separately or use one you already own. Email us if you need a length recommendation.

Q: What is micro-zirconia?
A: It's cubic zirconia in tiny stones, set one by one in a micro-pavé pattern. The value is in the hand-setting work — each stone is placed individually. It's not diamond, but the sparkle is beautiful and durable.

Q: Is the engraved medal design clear?
A: Absolutely. Saint Benedict's relief is engraved during casting and becomes sharper through polishing. The contrast with the matte silver around it makes it very readable.
