This 3.5-centimeter pendant carries Aztec cosmology to your neckline: each glyph in the circular calendar tells a story of cycles, time, and connection to nature. The green fire opal plays with light, capturing the tones of Guerrero's sacred forest. Sterling .925 holds every detail of the hand setting, ensuring the stone stays secure through years of wear. It's a piece that commands presence — compact in size, monumental in meaning.

Handcrafted in Taxco with the precision of a 500-year tradition. Each segment of the calendar is worked in combined hand-setting and polishing, revealing the relief of the prehispanic design. The .925 hallmark certifies authentic silver, and the green fire opal — a stone of fire and movement — stands as the visual protagonist. This is how Taxco silversmithing honors the past: not with nostalgia, but with respect and craft.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silverwork. For 500 years, generations of silversmiths have passed down techniques now considered heritage: from hand-setting to mirror polish. This pendant is a conversation between that living tradition and the calendar that measured the cycles of the Maya and Aztec — a connection that can only be born in Taxco.
