This pendant is a tribute to Prehispanic wisdom captured in sterling. The Aztec calendar — also known as the Stone of the Sun — is reproduced here in three dimensions through solid casting. Each concentric circle, each glyph of the Aztec zodiac, emerges from polished silver. The size (3.5 cm) makes it visible and present without overwhelming — it's the piece that shows when you wear it, the conversation starter.

The technique is combined casting and hand-repoussé: the base form comes from mold casting, and the depth details in the glyphs are enhanced by hand with punches. It is authentic .925 sterling with its hallmark, sealed in Taxco — the origin that matters. Each piece includes a certificate of authenticity.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. The Aztec calendar is a motif that honors that Prehispanic legacy that permeates the city and its workshops. When you wear this pendant, you carry not just an ancestral symbol, but the tradition of generations of silversmiths who in Taxco have mastered the art of turning silver into history. The Arte Taxco story begins where myth ends.
