This ring captures one of the greatest intellectual achievements of the pre-Columbian world: the Mayan Calendar, a timekeeping system that ancient Mesoamerican astronomers perfected with astonishing precision. Every glyph circling the central medallion tells the story of cosmic cycles — the 260-day Tzolkin and 365-day Haab woven in harmony. Wearing it means carrying the wisdom of a civilization that saw time not as a straight line, but as a sacred spiral of renewal.

The repousse technique makes every line and glyph emerge from the reverse side of the silver, hammer strike by hammer strike with hand-held punches. What you see on the front is the result of hours of precision — a topography in silver that plays with light, revealing the depth of design. The Sterling .925 hallmark guarantees purity; the deliberate oxidation contrast highlights every detail. This is not mass-cast jewelry: it is Taxco craftsmanship where every strike counts.

Taxco has been the cradle of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years — since the Spanish discovered silver in the mountains of Guerrero, generations of artisans have perfected techniques that blend colonial influence with pre-Columbian motifs, creating a unique visual language. This ring is a link in that unbroken chain of craft. Every repousse piece from Arte Taxco honors that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the meaning of the Mayan Calendar?
A: It is a timekeeping system with deep cosmological significance. The Maya integrated two calendars: the Tzolkin (260 days) and the Haab (365 days). The ring displays glyphs from the Long Count Calendar, which marks the great cyclical ages of the universe.

Q: Does repousse affect durability?
A: No. Repousse is an ancient craft technique — the reliefs are structurally as strong as any silver piece. Care is the same: avoid direct hard impacts and store in a dry case.

Q: Can I resize after purchase?
A: Yes. A Taxco silversmith can adjust the size within certain ranges without harming the relief. Contact us if you need resizing: hola@artetaxco.mx.
