This pendant is far more than an ornament: it is a portal to 500 years of Taxco's silver-working wisdom. The Aztec Calendar engraved on the round silver base and the fire opal set into the triangular point create a perfect contrast between prehispanic geometric precision and the living fire of the stone. Each time you wear it, you carry the astronomy and spirituality of ancient Mexico.

Sterling .950 silver is nearly the purest silver exists in jewelry — almost gold in its purity. The hallmark visible on the reverse certifies it is authentic and was set in Taxco, where generations of artisans have perfected the art of hand stone-setting. Fire opal, with its play of blues and greens in light, is never the same in two pieces — so each pendant you wear is truly unique.

Taxco is not just a brand: it is a five-century tradition. Since Spanish conquistadors discovered abundant silver in these mountains of Guerrero, the craft has flourished. Today, Arte Taxco honors that legacy in every piece that flows from the artisan's hand. The Aztec Calendar in this pendant bridges that prehispanic heritage and the silversmith mastery that came after — two histories of Mexico, fused in silver.

A: No, the price is for the pendant only. This gives you the freedom to choose the length and style of chain you prefer, or use one you already own. It's more flexible and often more economical.

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with fluorescent blue and green tones in light. Every stone is unique — you will never find two identical. It is delicate and prefers to avoid hard blows and sudden temperature changes.

Q: How do I know it is authentic .950 sterling silver?
