Symbolism
Terracota Army Necklace
From the “Tribute to Ancient Cultures” Collection
Eternal Guardians. Imperial Legacy.
Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver, this pendant pays homage to one of humanity’s most awe-inspiring archaeological legacies: the life-sized battalion of warriors buried beside Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of unified China.
Over 2,000 years ago, this vast underground army was crafted to accompany and protect the emperor in the afterlife; each soldier uniquely detailed, a fusion of artistry, spiritual devotion, and imperial might. This pendant echoes that reverence: with sculpted precision, it captures the stoic faces, armor, and formation of these eternal sentinels.

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.
