Each earring carries the power and eternity of the Aztec Calendar — also known as the Stone of the Sun — engraved in .950 sterling and framed by Fire Opal in deep green. The opal's color captures the sacred fire, transforming an ancestral amulet into a piece worn with purpose. These earrings are substantial and balanced, designed for those who carry history in their jewelry.

.950 sterling is even purer than .925 — a mark of authenticity backed by the hallmark. The combined technique of casting and hand-setting allows each stone to be placed individually, without machines to replace the artisan's hand. Fire Opal is known as a stone of transformation — according to tradition, it amplifies the wearer's energy. For centuries, Taxco's craftspeople have honored this delicate stone, respecting its fragility while making it shine.

Taxco, the world's capital of artisanal silver work for over 500 years, is where this Prehispanic tradition lives in every hammer strike. The Arte Taxco story is the story of craftsmanship that refuses the industrial. Each symbol engraved in these earrings tells a story. No two pairs are exactly alike — the variation is the artisan's signature. The Aztec Calendar you wear is both talisman and connection to the soul of Mexico.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with red, orange, and green hues. It is more delicate than turquoise or onyx — it requires care with heat and dehydration. In green, it captures a rare and highly sought-after tone.

Q: Is this technique traditional Taxco craftsmanship?
A: Yes. Casting in a mold creates the Aztec Calendar shape, and hand-setting places each stone individually. Each pair may vary slightly — that is the artisan's signature, not a flaw.

Q: How do I care for Fire Opal?
A: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, chlorine, and sudden temperature changes. Store the earrings in a dry case. Clean with a soft microfiber cloth — never use ultrasonic cleaners.
