This pendant captures the perfect geometry of the Mayan Calendar, one of the greatest intellectual achievements of Mesoamerica. The multicolor fire opal, with its flashes of red, green, and blue, reflects the energy and movement of ancestral cycles. At 3.1 cm it's discreet yet present — the exact size to carry a powerful symbol without excess. Each piece is hand-assembled in Taxco, where five centuries of silversmithing tradition meets Prehispanic iconography.

The hand-setting technique places the fire opal in its bezel with watchmaker's precision. No machine press: each stone is set individually, allowing the artisan to adjust depth and angle to capture the maximum luminosity of the opal's fire. Sterling .925 with its hallmark guarantees authenticity and durability — your pendant will age beautifully, developing patina over years of wear.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Today, Arte Taxco continues that tradition, fusing designs that speak to our Mexican roots — Mayan, Aztec, religious symbols — with handcraft techniques that remain unmachined. This pendant is an example: small in size, monumental in history. The Mayan Calendar is not just a pretty pattern — it is a statement of identity.
