At 5 cm long, it's noticeable when worn, yet fits discretely in a pocket. The deep relief captures all 20 deities of the Mesoamerican calendar surrounding the central Sun face — a design that speaks of cycles, time, and ancestral wisdom. The combined casting and hand-finishing technique preserves every detail of the original, from the inner glyphs to the textured border that frames it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterling .925 with \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/certificado-autenticidad-joyas-plata-925\"\u003ecertificate of authenticity\u003c\/a\u003e and Mexican hallmark stamped on the back. Casting was the path chosen by Taxco silversmiths to honor designs of geometric complexity: where filigree takes hours in twisted threads, casting preserves the entire symbol in one act of creation.
