This pendant brings the Aztec Calendar — the Stone of the Sun — to your neck. Cast in high-purity .950 silver, the ancestral symbol radiates from a center of green Fire Opal, hand-set in silver bezels. At 3 cm, it is visible without overwhelming; large enough to tell the story, elegant enough for everyday wear. The combined technique (casting in mold + manual stone setting) ensures every detail of the ancient calendar shines.

.950 silver is Taxco's choice for pieces with meaning. With its hallmark engraved, it certifies this pendant is genuine Taxco silver — not plated or alloy. The green Fire Opal brings warm, natural brilliance; each stone has its own dance of light, making this piece unique. Hand setting means the silversmith placed the stone with precision, without machinery to flatten it.

Taxco has forged prehispanic symbols in silver for 500 years — since silver arrived in these Guerrero mountains and ancient silversmiths discovered they could revive the visual language of their ancestors. Each Aztec Calendar pendant is an act of continuity: the geometry of the Stone of the Sun, passed hand to hand, generation to generation, in silver that never loses value. This is not a trend pendant. It is an emblem. Learn the story of Arte Taxco.
