This pendant carries five centuries of Taxco silversmithing. The Aztec Calendar—one of Mesoamerica's most recognizable symbols—is reproduced in relief on sterling .925 silver. Each line, each glyph, connects you to ancestral knowledge. The multicolor fire opal at its center reflects the sacred fire, capturing light with every movement. It is a piece that speaks of roots, respect for the prehispanic, and pride in heritage.

The combined technique—casting followed by hand-finished detail—allows the complexity of the design to shine without losing the warmth of handwork. Each pendant has minimal variations in the opal setting, making it truly unique. The .925 hallmark on the back is your guarantee of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. When you buy from Arte Taxco, you buy directly from the source: no middlemen, only pure silver and generations of craft. The Arte Taxco story is the story of Taxco itself.
