This Ringed Silver Pendant Necklace from Mexico 'Tona, Aztec Sun' by Independent Artisans is a unique and meaningful pendant necklace. Designed by Mikelo, the circular Taxco silver pendant depicts the Aztec representation of the sun, "Tona," with eight rays of light, symbolizing wealth and abundance. The pendant centers a dark brown leather cord that adjusts with a sliding knot, offering a versatile and stylish accessory. This piece is a beautiful blend of heritage craftsmanship and a creative vision.
A third-generation silversmith from Taxco, Mikelo carries forward the legacy of a town that has been synonymous with fine sterling since the 16th century. Introduced to the craft as a child in his father’s workshop, he grew to see silver as part of his identity, just as it had been for his father and grandfather. Around 2010, after a difficult economic period, Mikelo began designing his own jewelry, launching a zodiac-inspired collection that revealed his natural talent for translating imagination into silver. Today, he creates original pieces in 950 silver, each one hand-forged with traditional techniques and inspired by nature, faith, and the mysteries of the universe. The moon, his recurring muse, informs a collection that seeks to bring peace, harmony, and balance to the wearer. By blending heritage craftsmanship with his own creative vision, Mikelo offers jewelry that reflects beauty, originality, and the enduring spirit of Taxco.
Handcrafted from .950 silver and leather cord, this necklace measures 15 inches min L to 29 inches max L. The pendant is 1.4 inches L x 0.8 inches W x 0.1 inches D and has a combination finish and a sliding knot.
