Mayan Pyramid Charm Sterling Silver | Aztec Jewelry | Made in USA
A Mayan step pyramid — the type of monumental temple that dominated ancient Mesoamerican cities — cast in .925 sterling silver, Made in USA. This 3D charm weighs 2.1 grams and measures 1/2" x 1/2".
The centrifugal lost-wax process drives molten silver at roughly 50 G's of force into the stepped tiers and platform temple of this miniature pyramid. Each piece is then hand-polished to reveal the precise geometry of the ascending levels.
Mayan pyramids served as temples, tombs, and astronomical observatories. Chichen Itza's El Castillo famously casts a serpent-shaped shadow down its staircase during the spring and autumn equinoxes — proof of the Maya's astronomical precision. A sterling silver jump ring is attached.
Perfect for ancient history enthusiasts, Mexico travelers, archaeology buffs, or anyone captivated by civilizations that built monumental architecture without metal tools or wheels. Add it to a world history bracelet or wear it as a pendant.
