This pendant carries the Aztec Calendar — one of Mesoamerica's most powerful symbols — set in sterling silver with inlays of fire opal that shift between reds, greens, and blues. At 3.5 cm long, it's substantial enough to command presence when worn, yet light and accessible for everyday wear. Each piece is a direct link to the Prehispanic cosmology that Taxco continues to honor through its silversmithing tradition.

The stone inlay technique demands precision: each fragment of fire opal is placed and secured by hand, no industrial presses. The surrounding silver is polished to a mirror finish, allowing the opal's color play to shine from every angle. The .925 hallmark guarantees authenticity and durability — your pendant will age beautifully, developing patina over time or staying brilliant with care.

Taxco: 500 years of silvercraft transforming stone, metal, and vision into pieces that bridge past and present. This pendant is a reminder that Taxco jewelry is never mere adornment — it is narrative. Discover the Arte Taxco story and why every piece matters.
