Zia Sun Symbol Charm Sterling Silver | Southwest Jewelry | Made in USA

The Zia sun symbol -- sacred geometry of the Zia Pueblo, rendered in .925 sterling silver and Made in USA through traditional lost-wax casting.

A centrifugal caster spins the mold at roughly 50 G's of force, driving molten silver into the finest undercuts and textures of the wax original. Progressive hand-polishing -- from coarse filing through tripoli compound to a final rouge buff -- gives each piece its distinctive mirror finish.

The Zia sun symbol is a sacred design of the Zia Pueblo people, representing the four cardinal directions, four seasons, four times of day, and four stages of life -- all radiating from a central circle. It appears on the New Mexico state flag and has become one of the most recognized symbols of the American Southwest. This charm renders the geometric rays in sterling silver, with a jump ring attached.

Wear it as a standalone pendant on a chain, or anchor a Southwestern bracelet with this symbol. A thoughtful choice for a New Mexico resident, a Southwest traveler, or anyone drawn to the power of sacred geometric symbols.
