Vintage Mexico Aztec Calendar Turquoise-Inlay Pendant on Italian Sterling Chain

This vintage necklace pairs a handcrafted Mexican Aztec Sun Stone pendant with a classic Italian herringbone chain. The calendar face is ringed with turquoise chip inlay and there are little lizard motifs worked around it, which is the detail most people miss until you point it out. Being honest about the metals: the herringbone chain is marked ITALY and tested as sterling silver, while the pendant is stamped MEXICO and tests as a non-sterling silver-tone alloy, consistent with vintage Mexican alpaca. If you collect Southwestern and Mexican artisan jewelry, this is a unique statement piece and you won't be disappointed.
