This pendant captures the essence of the Mayan Calendar, one of Mesoamerica's greatest intellectual achievements. The central circle with glyphs and the stylized head of Quetzalcoatl are engraved in pure .925 silver — every line honoring the precision of the civilization that named it. The fire opal surrounding the design adds movement and warmth, that play of oranges and reds seeming to contain the energy of time itself.

Each stone is hand-set in Taxco, where silversmiths follow inherited techniques to ensure the opal stays secure without losing its natural brilliance. The silver carries the .925 hallmark, authenticity you can verify yourself. This is not mass-market jewelry — it is a statement that you understand the depth of your own past and value carrying that story with you.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silverwork for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is born from that craft — every pendant we make respects the tradition of silversmiths who master engraving, setting, and polishing as living art. This Mayan Calendar is small in size — it fits in your hand — but monumental in meaning.
