This ring is a tribute to prehispanic cosmology, where each number and celestial symbol marked the destiny and personality of its wearer. In Taxco, our artisans have revived that tradition by carving the ancestral zodiacal calendar into .925 silver, creating a piece that is both amulet and jewelry. The substantial weight of 6.1 grams ensures durability and real presence on your hand — not a lightweight symbol, but an investment in history and authenticity.

The relief-carved technique over an oxidized ground (dark patina) is a direct heritage from Taxco silversmiths. Each facet captures light and shadow differently, making the ring seem alive and full of depth. Sterling .925 holds its value year after year, especially with basic care. This is not fashion jewelry; it is an object your daughters could inherit and treasure.

Wearing a prehispanic zodiacal ring connects you to a larger story: a civilization that read the cosmos in stone and metal. Our no-expiration buyback program honors that connection as real. If you ever decide to sell, we buy back your ring at up to 70% of its value, because silver is always a currency of exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is my prehispanic zodiacal number?
A: Mexica and Maya calendars divided the cosmos into 13 and 20 signs respectively. The ring you see represents one specific sign — confirm which one with us before purchase if it matters to you.

Q: Does the oxidized finish fade over time?
A: The dark patina is part of the design and will last for years with care. If you prefer more shine, a microfiber cloth restores it in seconds.

Q: Can I wash my ring with water?
A: Yes, warm water and mild soap is fine. Avoid chlorine and perfumes — they oxidize silver faster.
