It's thousands of years old, it's slow, and very few silversmiths in Taxco still work this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece one of a kind?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Every cantera stone is a different pattern, and repoussé is done by hand each time. There is one of this exact piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a chain?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not yet. The medallion ships on its own, with an integrated sterling silver bail that fits most chains, so you can hang it on one you already love. We're working on our own chain and will offer it soon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Spratling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43106141667424,"sku":"OTH-PD-FO-05","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8947\/4400\/files\/FIREOPALPENDANTSILVERTAXCO..png?v=1787940412"}],"url":"https:\/\/carolinasstudio.com\/collections\/sterling-silver-necklaces.oembed","provider":"Carolina S Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
