A pendant of commanding presence and ancestral spirit. The central Aztec calendar glows in relief of pure silver, flanked by two intricately carved quetzal heads — symbols of power and pre-Hispanic wisdom. The fire opal, hand-set on the right side, captures light with emerald and golden flashes that shift with every movement: the sacred stone of ancient times.

Forged in .950 sterling silver — the purest grade available — using lost-wax casting and hand stone setting. Each Aztec symbol was transferred to the metal with the precision of a master jeweler. The 950 hallmark guarantees silver authenticity and Taxco origin.

Taxco has been the cradle of ritual silversmithing for 500 years — heir to the pre-Hispanic tradition that honors stone and metal as bearers of history. Discover how Arte Taxco perpetuates that legacy in every piece. A pendant like this is not an accessory — it is connection to the past, worn in the present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — this is the pendant price only. We sell sterling silver chains separately so you can customize your combination. Reach out for recommendations.

Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: .950 silver is even purer (95% pure silver vs. 92.5%). It is ideal for stone-set pieces because the silver is stronger and holds gemstones more securely.

Q: Does opal scratch easily?
A: Opal is softer than other stones. Avoid direct impact and store separately in a case. With care, it will last for decades — part of the ritual of wearing it.
