This pendant rescues the symbolism of the Aztec Calendar — the Piedra del Sol (Stone of the Sun) — in a composition that captures five centuries of Taxco silversmithing. The multicolor fire opal (orange, red, yellow, and green tones) surrounds the central design, creating a luminous contrast with polished .950 silver. It is a piece that speaks of cycles, movement, and the worldview that still lives in Taxco. Ideal for those who understand that jewelry is language.

The combined technique — casting in .950 silver plus hand-setting the fire opal — ensures each stone is individually fixed. .950 silver is purer than .925, making it ideal for delicate stones. The hallmark (.950 stamped) certifies authenticity. Every piece includes a certificate of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of silversmithing for 500 years. Here, artisans pass techniques down through generations — and every pendant is proof. The Aztec Calendar, engraved and set in these workshops, connects your neck to the story of Arte Taxco and the prehispanic wisdom that still pulses in every piece.
