This pendant holds the prehispanic legacy of Mexico in sterling silver. The Aztec Calendar, one of Mexico's most recognizable symbols, emerges from the metal in relief — each line hand-hammered to honor ancient cycles. The green Fire Opal, set by hand in the silver, catches light like sacred stones in the codices. At 3 centimeters, it is sized perfectly to wear as a statement piece without overwhelming.

Sterling .950 with its hallmark guarantees authenticity and endurance. The combined technique merges repoussé — each calendar detail struck from behind with hand punches — and hand setting, two disciplines of the silversmith's craft requiring hours of precision. The result: not a copy, but a contemporary interpretation of prehispanic art rendered in living silver.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story chronicles artisans who honor the craft and respect the origin. This pendant carries that responsibility — uniting the prehispanic symbol with the exactness of the silversmith's hand, without invented narratives, only with silver and time.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant alone. You can purchase a sterling silver chain separately — write to hola@artetaxco.mx for chain length and thickness recommendations.

Q: What is the combined technique used on this pendant?
A: We unite repoussé — each calendar line hand-hammered from the back with punches — and hand setting, where the stone is placed individually in the silver without machinery. Two silversmith disciplines in one piece.

Q: Is Fire Opal durable enough to wear daily?
A: Fire Opal is softer than diamond. Avoid direct impacts and sudden temperature changes. Store in a dry case. Clean with a soft microfiber cloth and lukewarm water only.
