Symbolism
Cactus Jade Pendant
From the “Mexican Culture” and "Nature Inspired" Collections
Crafted in 925 Sterling Silver and adorned natural Jade stone, this pendant honors the deep symbolism of the nopal cactus; a plant rooted in both the soil and the history of Mexico.
This pendant design was inpired by the founding vision of Tenochtitlan: an eagle perched upon a cactus, grasping a serpent; a powerful sign that led the Mexica to build their city. The jade stones reflect resilience, rootedness, and the mythic fire of the Aztec past.
Wear them as a tribute to strength through heritage; and the quiet defiance of growing where others fall.

Craftsmanship
At Tikalkun, every piece is a ritual—a tribute to the ancient civilizations that shaped our world. We don’t just craft jewelry; we translate sacred symbols into silver—symbols of power, wisdom, and transformation that still echo through time.
Each design begins with a search. Tikal, our founder and jeweler, dives deep into Mesoamerican iconography until he finds a symbol that calls to be reborn. With modern tools like 3D modeling and hands guided by reverence, we shape every piece as a bridge between past and present.
We are a family working with heart and soul. Every detail is handled with care, every line drawn with respect. There’s no rush, no mass production—only pieces that carry the breath of civilizations that saw life as sacred.
Tikalkun doesn’t follow trends. It honors memory. Because some wear jewelry—but others carry legacy.
