Symbolism
Crocodile Silver Pendant
From the “Animal Totems” Collection
Foundation of the Earth. Guardian of Creation.
Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver, this pendant embodies Itzam Cab Ain; the sacred crocodile of Maya mythology, believed to be the very foundation of the world.
Floating in the cosmic waters of creation, this celestial reptile bore the weight of the earth, sky, and time itself. More than a beast, it was the living body of the planet, the sacred ground beneath every ceremony, storm, and step.
This design is a symbol of grounding, endurance, and the deep, ancient pulse of the earth. Worn as a connection to primordial wisdom, it reminds the wearer that strength lies in stillness, and that true power begins below the surface.

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.
