This pendant carries the heart of Mesoamerica: the Aztec Calendar, symbol of the five suns and eternal connection to the cosmos. Taxco sterling .950 embraces each fire opal stone in greens, reds, and golds — colors that echo the sacred gemstones of ancient peoples. At 3.5 cm, it commands attention without overwhelming — the perfect companion for those who wear history close to their heart.

Crafted in Taxco using hand stone inlay technique, where each opal fragment is set individually by hand, with no press or machine. Sterling .950 is purer than .925 — reserved in Taxco for pieces of true weight. The hallmarked .950 is your guarantee of authenticity.

Taxco, Guerrero, is the birthplace of Mexico's artisanal silversmithing — 500 years of craft we inherit from tradition. Every pendant from our workshop carries that legacy: precision, honesty, and respect for the material. The prehispanic design is not decoration — it is a conversation with the past, honoring the symbols that defined civilizations. Learn the Arte Taxco story.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, pendant only. This lets you choose the chain length you prefer or use one you already own. Any silver chain or other material works fine.

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A gemstone with multicolor flashes (red, green, gold) caused by light refraction. It is more delicate than quartz — avoid sudden temperature changes and keep it dry.

Q: Can I customize it?
A: Yes, it is marked as "made to order" in the SKU. Email hola@artetaxco.mx before purchase if you have a specific size or design in mind.
