Olmec Head Charm Sterling Silver | Mayan Jewelry | Made in USA
Between 1500 and 400 BCE, the Olmec civilization of southern Mexico carved at least 17 colossal stone heads from basalt — portraits of rulers that weighed up to 50 tons each, transported dozens of miles without wheeled vehicles or draft animals. The broad facial features, helmet-like headdress, and full lips that define these monuments remain among the most striking images from the ancient Americas. This 3D charm translates that monumental presence into a wearable form at 1/2" x 1/2".

Cast in solid .925 sterling silver and made in the USA, the piece weighs 4.1 grams — substantial for its compact dimensions. A centrifugal caster forces molten silver at over 1,640 degrees into the mold at roughly 50 G's, capturing the headdress and facial features that make the Olmec head instantly recognizable. A sterling silver jump ring is included and attached.
This charm suits Mesoamerican history enthusiasts, archaeology collectors, and Mexico travelers drawn to civilizations that predated the Maya and Aztec by centuries. Wear it as a striking pendant or anchor a history-themed charm bracelet with it.
