Scorpion Silver Pendant
From the "Animal Totems" Collection
Fire Below, Stars Above.
Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver, this pendant draws from the ancestral might of the Aztec/Mexica, a civilization that saw in the scorpion (Colotl) not only danger, but sacred transformation.
Linked to Huehueteotl, the god of fire, and Mictlantecuhtli, lord of the underworld, the scorpion symbolized the dance between creation and decay. Its presence in the night sky, as Scorpius, was more than celestial; it was an omen, a guardian, a reminder of the duality between life and death, pain and rebirth.
This pendant is a talisman of intensity and inner power. Worn by those who carry the fire of endurance and the shadow of knowledge.

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.
