Dance with the Four Winds: Sterling Silver Pueblo Zia Cross Charm - Embrace Balance

The Pueblo Zia sun symbol — four rays, four seasons, four directions — cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA. This flat charm measures 3/4" x 7/8" and weighs 1.3 grams, light enough for comfortable all-day wear.

Each charm starts as a hand-carved wax model before lost-wax casting fills the mold with molten silver at over 1,640 degrees Fahrenheit. Hand-finishing through tripoli compound and rouge polish brings the sacred geometry to a bright, even surface.

The Zia sun symbol — four groups of rays extending from a circle — is the emblem of New Mexico and one of the most recognized symbols of the American Southwest. The four sets of rays represent the four directions, four seasons, four periods of the day, and four stages of life. It is a symbol of balance and cyclical harmony.

A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached. Perfect for anyone with ties to New Mexico, lovers of Southwestern design, or seekers of symbols that carry genuine cultural weight. Wear on a bracelet, as a pendant, or pair two for meaningful earrings.
