Taxco Pendant - Conch Shell with Bird Inlay

This bold and beautiful pendant was handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico, the historic silver capital known for its vibrant designs and masterful silverwork. The piece features a stylized conch or spiral shell shape, adorned with a folk-style bird motif created with blue crushed stone inlay, possibly dyed turquoise composite — a signature of mid-century Taxco design.

The form and flow of the piece are both playful and symbolic — with the shell representing natural movement and the inlaid bird symbolizing freedom, transformation, or spirit in folk art traditions.

• Sterling silver (marked Mexico 925)
