This prehispanic pendant is a tribute to the civilizations of Mesoamerica — each Mayan glyph circling the central disk represents a sign from the ancient calendar. Hand-worked .925 silver frames the Fire Opal, whose olive green captures the depth of cenotes and the Mayan jungle. A design that bridges past and present, perfect for anyone seeking to carry history close to their heart. At 3.5 cm, it sits proportional without overwhelming — ideal for everyday wear under clothing or visible as a talisman.

The authentic .925 sterling silver was hand-set around the stone, a technique demanding precision and patience. Fire Opal is uncommon in Taxco jewelry; this inlay is evidence of the refined craftsmanship that sets Arte Taxco apart. Every piece undergoes manual verification of weight and fit.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silverwork for 500 years. The prehispanic symbols adorning this pendant honor that cultural root — artisans working in Taxco today inherit techniques and sensibility from generations who have shaped silver since colonial times. Wearing this pendant connects you to that legacy.
