The Aztec Calendar is more than a symbol — it is a portrait of prehispanic cosmos carved in silver. This pendant captures the geometric precision and symbolic depth of ancient Mesoamerican silversmiths, with a generous size (4 cm) that stands out at the neck. The central sun and concentric rings of glyphs are engraved with clarity, creating contrast between bright polish and engraved shadows. It is the piece for those who understand that jewelry can tell the stories of civilizations.

Made in Taxco, the world capital of artisanal silver, this combined casting and engraving technique is the heritage of Mexica silversmiths. Sterling .925 guarantees durability and authenticity — each piece carries the .925 hallmark as proof. Without stones, the prehispanic design is the star: pure, geometric, timeless.

Taxco has been the cradle of American silversmithing for 500 years. When you choose a piece from Arte Taxco, you are not just buying an object — you are buying the continuity of a tradition that connects prehispanic craftsmanship with contemporary art. Every chisel strike, every polish, is an invisible thread linking generations of silversmiths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant alone. Chain is sold separately. We recommend 45–60 cm chains depending on your preferred length.

Q: How big does it look when worn?
A: At 4 cm tall, it is a generous pendant — roughly the size of a large coin or fingernail. It stands out without being overwhelming; works equally well for men and women.

Q: Why is it "combined technique"?
A: It is cast in a mold (casting), then each prehispanic symbol is hand-engraved with specialized punches (engraving), and finally polished to highlight the contrast between the bright background and engraved shadows.
