This pendant embodies the spirit of the prehispanic calendar: a wheel of tradition spinning for over a thousand years. The fire opal, with its green, blue, and amber flashes, captures the movement of the cosmos — each angle reveals a new story. The hand-set inlay of stone into .950 silver is master goldsmith work: each segment of the calendar is set individually, no machines, only the craft of a Taxco artisan.

The .950 silver, the purest in commercial jewelry, bears the Mexican hallmark. It is a commitment to authenticity: no alloy weakens it. The relief of the Aztec calendar, engraved in negative around the stone, shows the glyphs of the five suns — the cosmology of Mesoamerica's original peoples translated into form.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of silver. Here the techniques originated that other countries copied, and here persist the workshops where stone and metal converse. This pendant is made to order: if you wish a slightly different dimension, write us — in ~2 weeks you will have it. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. Silver chains are sold separately — contact us to choose length and style.

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: .950 is purer (95% silver vs. 92.5%). With pieces set with delicate gems like fire opal, greater purity protects the stone from thermal stress.

Q: What is the hallmark?
A: It is the official Mexican seal guaranteeing silver purity. MEXICO on the hallmark proves the piece came from a certified Taxco workshop.
