From the “Aztec Mythology” Collection
Mother of Gods. Goddess of Life and Death
Coatlicue is one of the most significant deities in Aztec mythology, often referred to as the "Mother of Gods." She is the goddess of fertility, life, death, and rebirth.
Depicted with a skirt of snakes and adorned with a necklace of human hearts, hands, and skulls, Coatlicue symbolizes both the earth's nurturing aspects and its destructive powers.
Revered as the mother of Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war, she embodies the dual forces of creation and destruction.

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.
