This Crescent Pattern Taxco Silver Pendant Necklace from Mexico 'Thelma the Giraffe' by Mikelo is a simple, yet striking necklace. The artisan uses his signature crescents, inspired by the moon, to depict a stylized giraffe. The sleek, contemporary pendant is crafted from gleaming Taxco silver and hangs from a dark brown leather cord. The piece reflects the artisan's ability to blend heritage craftsmanship with his own creative vision, bringing peace, harmony, and balance to the wearer.
A third-generation silversmith from Taxco, Mikelo carries forward the legacy of a town that has been synonymous with fine sterling since the 16th century. Introduced to the craft as a child in his father’s workshop, he grew to see silver as part of his identity, just as it had been for his father and grandfather. Around 2010, after a difficult economic period, Mikelo began designing his own jewelry, launching a zodiac-inspired collection that revealed his natural talent for translating imagination into silver. Today, he creates original pieces in 950 silver, each one hand-forged with traditional techniques and inspired by nature, faith, and the mysteries of the universe. The moon, his recurring muse, informs a collection that seeks to bring peace, harmony, and balance to the wearer. By blending heritage craftsmanship with his own creative vision, Mikelo offers jewelry that reflects beauty, originality, and the enduring spirit of Taxco.
Handcrafted in .950 silver and a leather cord with a high-polish finish, this necklace weighs 0.46 oz. The adjustable cord ranges from 15.3 to 29 inches L and is 0.6 inches W. The pendant measures 1.4 inches L x 0.5 inches W x 0.1 inches D. The necklace is marked with the artisan's initials or trademark.
