The fire opal, with its green, blue, and amber flashes, captures the movement of the cosmos — each angle reveals a new story. The hand-set inlay of stone into .950 silver is master goldsmith work: each segment of the calendar is set individually, no machines, only the craft of a Taxco artisan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe .950 silver, the purest in commercial jewelry, bears the Mexican hallmark. It is a commitment to authenticity: no alloy weakens it. The relief of the Aztec calendar, engraved in negative around the stone, shows the glyphs of the five suns — the cosmology of Mesoamerica's original peoples translated into form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of silver. Here the techniques originated that other countries copied, and here persist the workshops where stone and metal converse.
