This pendant is a tribute to prehispanic astronomy — the Mayan calendar, one of the most precise systems of the ancient world. At 4 centimeters long, it fits in your palm but commands presence when you wear it. The multicolor fire opal, with its green, gold, and red flashes, dialogues with the carved Mayan glyphs in relief, creating a depth of field that shifts with the light.

Sterling .950 is nearly pure silver — only 0.5% copper, making it more noble and enduring than .925. The Taxco hallmark certifies authenticity. The stone was set by hand, each anchor point a craft decision that honors both the silver and the opal. No machinery, only skill.

Taxco has refined the art of stone-setting in silver for 500 years — from colonial goldsmiths to today. The glyphs you see on this pendant honor that tradition of craft, fusing prehispanic heritage with modern silversmith mastery. The Arte Taxco story is our story.
