Zia Sun Symbol Charm Sterling Silver | Southwest Jewelry | Made in USA
New Mexicans spot the Zia sun anywhere — four rays at four compass points around a circle, the same design that flies on their state flag — and a pendant version is the classic gift for anyone homesick for the high desert. This one keeps the geometry crisp at 5/8" by 3/4".

As a flat two-dimensional casting weighing 1.5 grams, it hangs flush against the skin and slips easily beneath a collar, which suits a symbol meant to be carried close. Lost-wax casting under strong centrifugal force keeps the ray groups sharply defined, and hand-polishing through successive compounds finishes the face to a high shine. Made in USA; the metal is .925 sterling silver.
The design is sacred to the Zia Pueblo and is built entirely on fours: directions, seasons, times of day, and the stages of a human life, each set bound to the circle at the center. It has since become perhaps the most recognized emblem of the whole Southwest.
Send it to a transplanted New Mexican, mark a Land of Enchantment road trip, or set it at the heart of a Southwestern bracelet. The jump ring comes attached and ready for any chain.
