Sterling silver pendant necklace, "Wise Nahual"
This necklace is from Pablo Castellano's "Cargadores del tiempo" collection. Meaning "Time Carriers," the term refers to the Maya belief in the four pillars of energy that sustain time and represent the cardinal points. Depicted on the corners of the calendar, the No'j, can be either the coyote or a woodpecker nahual of Maya origin. Pablo Castellano replicates the legendary glyph in sterling silver centered by a brain and spinal cord surrounded by circles that symbolize degrees of self-fulfillment: intellect, knowledge, wisdom, and sacred science. Rich in powerful artistry, the handcrafted pendant is worn on a cotton cord.

"One of a KInd"
This is the most unique ring in my jewelry box.Even tho I have small fingers(4 1/2) it is not overpowering because of the cutouts in the design. Always here positive comments when I wear it, but knowing I am supporting an artist from miles away is a plus.

"Minimalistic and elegant"
A deceptively simple style that is great with tee-shirts, summer dresses or sweaters.

"Love at first sight!"
I was sooooo excited for this piece to arrive, and it s even better than expected! As well as the pictures represent the piece, they really don t do it justice. It s absolutely stunning! The depth of the stone is mesmerizing and the quality and workmanship of the silver is impeccable! It s smaller than I had pictured in my mind (I was going for the bold look) and in reality the piece is delicate, yet still stands out and gets noticed! I really, really, really love this necklace. It s gone straight to the top of my favourites list. Almost forgot, I really like the chain too! It s delicate, yet looks super-sturdy, and it s bright and shiny and pretty-pretty. I highly recommend this beautiful creation, and am thrilled to own it. Thank you Mr. Castellanos for your amazing artistry!
