Mayan Mask Ring
From the “Mayan Heritage” Collection
Ancestral Power. Carved in Time.
Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver, this piece is a bold tribute to the legendary jade mask discovered near the Motagua River in Guatemala, one of the most enigmatic artifacts of the Mayan Classic Period (500–900 AD). Believed to represent a deity or shaman in mid-transformation, the original mask is defined by its protruding tongue, spiral brow, and fierce expression; features tied to ritual, rebirth, and divine presence in Mayan cosmology.
This ring reimagines that sacred energy in silver. Its sculpted face is not merely decorative; it’s a conduit between worlds, a visual invocation of spiritual strength, ancestral guidance, and mythic identity.

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.
