This 3.5 cm prehispanic pendant is the perfect size to carry Aztec cosmology close to your heart. The Ollin — symbol of movement, change, and the fifth sun — shines at the center, surrounded by glyphs and Fire Opal whose multicolor veins evoke sacred fire. The piece combines precision casting with hand-setting of the stone, a technique requiring both skill and patience: each stone is fixed individually, without presses or machinery. The result is a pendant that speaks to tradition while remaining contemporary.

Sterling .925 with hallmark — the authenticity guarantee that Taxco has used for centuries. Fire Opal is a stone of movement and transformation, its colors playing with light like ritual fire. Hand-set in Taxco silver, where jewelry craftsmanship has 500 years of lineage — from the first silversmiths who learned Spanish technique and fused it with the prehispanic imagery the city still breathes.

Taxco doesn't invent jewelry: it remembers. Each pendant in this collection is born from the craftspeople's obsession with recovering the symbols the city itself echoes — glyphs, sacred animals, cosmic movement — in silver and stone. This calendar is not an accessory: it's an act of memory. The Arte Taxco story is the story of this search.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant alone. We recommend a .925 silver chain 45–50 cm; contact hola@artetaxco.mx for suggestions.

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with orange, red, and yellow veins that simulate flame. It's delicate and requires care: protect it from impacts and sudden temperature changes.

Q: How is the stone set?
A: By hand. The artisan places each stone individually in its silver frame, without machines or presses. That's why each pendant is unique.
