Mayan Dagger Pendant
From the “Mayan Heritage” and "Sacred Stones of Mesoamerica" Collections
A Weapon of Spirit. A Relic of Legacy.
Handcrafted with a blade of natural obsidian and set in intricately detailed .925 sterling silver, this pendant draws its form and power from ceremonial daggers used by ancient Maya priests and warriors.
Obsidian was not just a weapon, it was sacred. Used in rituals of sacrifice, divination, and healing, it was believed to pierce the veil between worlds. The silver mount echoes ancient glyphs and architectural lines, evoking the temples and cosmology of Mesoamerica.
A statement of strength, memory, and myth; A talisman for those who walk with ancestral fire and carry history in their presence.

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.
