This pendant carries the spirit of the Aztec calendar — one of the most recognizable symbols of prehispanic cosmology. The multicolor fire opal brings a play of light that echoes the duality of sacred fire: what burns and what illuminates. Each piece is unique because the opal's color varies naturally. You wear a connection to five centuries of silversmithing tradition.

Sterling .925 with hallmark guarantees authenticity. Stone setting is done by hand — each facet of the opal is fixed individually, a process demanding precision and patience. The polished finish highlights the prehispanic details carved into the silver, giving depth to the symbol.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. This pendant is born from that heritage: the story of Arte Taxco is the story of masters who inherited techniques from generations before, transforming pure silver into objects that tell stories. Every prehispanic pendant we make is an act of respect to that tradition.
