This pendant rescues the most iconic symbol of Aztec cosmology: the Calendar Stone, representing the cycles of time and the connection between gods and earth. Crafted in .950 Taxco silver, the combined technique — precise casting and hand repoussé — brings to life every detail: from the central face of Tonacatecuhtli to the glyphs circling the perimeter. The Fire Opal, with its mesmerizing green brilliance, crowns the center like the sacred stone of cosmic movement.

Sterling .950 is even purer than standard .925 silver, confirming the authenticity of this piece as part of Taxco's silver heritage. The hand-set Fire Opal and the repoussé work on each symbol are crafts only master silversmiths can master — no machine can replicate that level of precision and soul. Learn more about the craft in our guide to artisanal techniques in Taxco.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. Since the 16th century, when conquistadors discovered silver mines in the Guerrero mountains, the city became a beacon of silverwork. Today, the Arte Taxco story carries on that tradition: every piece we make honors five centuries of craft, precision, and passion for silver. This pendant is not just jewelry — it's a bridge between Prehispanic past and your present.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — pendant only. We offer separate sterling .925 chains in various gauges and lengths. Email hola@artetaxco.mx for options.

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with intense play-of-color, typically green-yellow. It's a delicate stone requiring care: avoid prolonged water and chlorine. Its brilliance is unique — every light changes it.

Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs. 92.5% in standard sterling). It's whiter, more durable under frequent wear, and ideal for delicate handwork like this repoussé. The .950 hallmark certifies authenticity.
