Zia Charm Sterling Silver | Southwestern Jewelry | Symbol Jewelry | Made in USA

For collectors who value authenticity, this Zia charm is cast in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA.

Lost-wax casting uses centrifugal force — roughly 50 G's — to push molten silver into every fine detail of the mold. The result is sculptural 3D depth that stamping and machine pressing simply cannot achieve.

The Zia sun symbol is sacred to the Zia Pueblo people and appears on the flag of New Mexico. Its four groups of four rays represent the four directions, four seasons, four periods of the day, and four stages of life. This flat cast charm measures 0.69" x 0.81" and renders every ray with geometric precision.

Whether it's a personal devotion piece or a thoughtful gift for a milestone of faith, this charm carries meaning that mass-produced jewelry simply cannot match. The attached sterling silver jump ring makes it bracelet-ready, necklace-ready, or earring-ready with a pair of ear wires.
