This pendant brings the power of the Aztec calendar — the Tonalpohualli — to your neck. The multicolor fire opal, with its red, green, and golden tones, captures light as it once did in the temples of Tenochtitlán. Every piece is hand-set in .925 sterling, honoring the exact geometry of the prehispanic symbol. It's not decoration: it's a reminder of roots, movement, and cycle.

Taxco sterling has been home to master silversmiths for 500 years, heirs to the platería tradition the Aztecs began. In the Arte Taxco story, you'll find how every piece connects to that continuity. The hand setting you see here is not machine work — it's intention, hand, craft. Each stone is placed individually so its brilliance is exact.

Fire opal is a stone of transformation — it shifts with light, never the same twice. Like Taxco, like the Aztec calendar: always moving, always alive. When you wear it, you'll carry 500 years of Aztec platería and 25 centuries of Guerrero craft in a 3.5-centimeter pendant.
