Zia Sun Necklace | Solid Gold Sacred Symbol Pendant | Southwestern Balance Talisman
Description
The Zia sun symbol belongs to the Zia Pueblo people of New Mexico and represents the sacred number four expressed at four different scales simultaneously: the four cardinal directions, the four seasons, the four periods of the day, and the four stages of human life. All four groups of four rays are organized around a central circle that holds them in relation to one another. Where the circumpunct says here is the origin, the Zia says here is the order that the origin produces. In solid gold, this sacred symbol is held in the material that does not tarnish.
14K solid gold. Suspended on a matching chain.
Care
Your piece is made to last a lifetime, but it still deserves a little devotion. Keep it dry, store it away from other metals, and wipe it clean after wear. Small rituals like these are what keep a symbol sharp for years to come.
Design
Every piece begins as an idea worth carrying, then it's shaped, cast, and finished by hand until the symbol feels inevitable. This isn't decoration. It's craft made to mean something.
