This Artisan Crafted Taxco Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace by Independent Artisans, titled 'Star in the Moon,' is a boldly contemporary design from Argentine-Mexican artisan Roy Nilson. The necklace features a dancing disk that contrasts polished silver with dark, textured surfaces, with motifs suggesting a star. The wonderfully contemporary design is handcrafted with Taxco's legendary sterling silver and is a new medium for expression for the artisan, who was previously a stage actor.
Born in 1962 in Río Cuarto, Argentina, this designer was raised in a family that valued art in all its forms. Though his early studies were not artistic, he trained as a stage actor and later pursued acting seriously in his 40s. After moving to Mexico, he turned to jewelry design, discovering a new medium for expression. His first creation, a silver ring, remains a treasured family heirloom. Since 2003, he has dedicated himself fully to jewelry, working alongside artisans who handcraft each piece using traditional methods. His designs are simple, original, and deeply inspired by life and the people around him. Family remains central to his practice, with relatives actively involved in his creative journey. For him, jewelry is not just adornment but a form of art, as essential and fulfilling as theater, cinema, and literature in celebrating the beauty of life.
Crafted in Mexico from .925 sterling silver with a combination finish, this omega chain necklace measures 17.8 inches L with a 1.6-inch L x 1.6-inch W pendant. It closes with a lobster claw clasp.
