Carmen Tapia

Reptile Necklace

$4,500.00

Merging sculptural strength with sinuous grace, Reptile Necklace by Carmen Tapia exemplifies the refined artistry of contemporary Taxco silverwork. Crafted in 0.925 sterling silver with 14k gold accents, the design centers around a spiraling reptilian pendant—its coiled body inlaid with vibrant carnelian stone and detailed with inlaid rubies that glimmer with quiet fire. Suspended below, a singular Tahitian black pearl adds weight, mystery, and movement. The segmented silver chain is constructed from elegant tubular links that echo the form of a serpent’s spine. Each element is engineered for both flexibility and structure, giving the necklace its architectural precision while remaining comfortable to wear. Carmen Tapia’s signature style—feminine, powerful, and deeply rooted in Mexican metalwork tradition—is evident in every joint, clasp, and curve. This is not only a necklace—it is a wearable sculpture, a tribute to nature’s geometry and symbolic wisdom. Bold yet elegant, this collector’s piece speaks to those who understand the language of fine artisan jewelry.
