This 4 cm pendant is a visual statement: the Aztec Sun Stone — a symbol of Mesoamerican cosmology — cast in .950 silver and framed in ornamental relief. The fire opal's multicolor play (greens, blues, warm amber flashes) dances against the mirror-polished silver, creating depth that shifts with light. It's the kind of piece that invites questions.

Combined technique gives it solidity and soul: the Sun Stone comes from casting (solid, durable design), while the fire opal is hand-set into the .950 silver — each stone placed with precision. The .950 hallmark guarantees authenticity and the purity this cultural piece deserves. Every pendant includes a certificate of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of silvercraft for 500 years, and prehispanic symbols live in the city's heritage. When you wear a Taxco Sun Stone pendant, you carry the memory of Mexican artisanship — the Art Taxco story is in every detail.

Important: this pendant ships without a chain. Pair it with any .925 or .950 silver chain you own, or email hola@artetaxco.mx for chain length and gauge recommendations.
