Sterling silver pendant necklace 'Seed of Life' This 'Seed of Life' pendant necklace by Independent Artisans is a dazzling and symbolic piece from designer Maria Belen Nilson. Crafted from a single sheet of silver, the seed seems to radiate the energy of its life force, with cutout motifs in the center. A sleek sterling chain completes the signature necklace. This piece is a testament to Maria's passion, patience, and resilience, and her ability to create jewelry that carries both tradition and spirit.
Born in Río Cuarto, Argentina in 1954, this designer has made Mexico her lifelong home and muse. After moving there at 21, she began teaching literature before discovering her passion for silver in the famed jewelry town of Taxco. Following her divorce, she established her own workshop to provide for her three daughters, learning from master silversmiths and drawing inspiration from Mexican culture, traditions, and the work of Frida Kahlo. Over time, she developed collections such as Mexican Drama and Texture and Purity, which explore the emotional and cultural richness of her adopted country. Today, her workshop sustains seven families, preserving techniques like lost wax, embossing, and die-cutting while maintaining impeccable quality standards. For her, silver is more than a medium — it is a vessel for passion, patience, and resilience. Guided by love for Mexico, she continues to create jewelry that carries both tradition and spirit to clients worldwide.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, this necklace measures 17.5 inches L. The pendant measures 1.8 inches L x 1.3 inches W and weighs 0.39 oz. It features a high polish finish, a naga chain, and a lobster claw clasp, and is signed by the artist.
