Vintage 14K Gold Aztec Calendar (Sun Stone) Medallion Pendant. Pendant features the Mexican eagle (golden eagle with wings spread) in the center. Rather than faithfully reproducing the Sun Stone's central deity, many jewelry makers substituted the Mexican coat of arms eagle, making it a patriotic or cultural symbol. The outer disc symbolizes the Aztec understanding of time, cosmology, and the cycles of the universe. The center eagle represents Mexico and is based on the legend of founding of Tenochtitlan. These pendants were worn as a symbol of Mexican heritage or pride, and usually worn with chains.
The medallion measures one inch in diameter and includes a top ring to attach to a chain (this is pendant only, no chain is included). The pendant weighs approximately 6.54 grams total weight.
Versatile and timeless, this pendant can be worn in modern fashion on a classic gold chain or layered with other gold necklaces of varying lengths. It complements both casual and formal attire. Equally suitable for both men and women, its meaningful symbolism and clean circular form make it an enduring addition to any fine jewelry collection.
