Artisanal Manufacturing

All the designs of Aztec jewelry offered in our collection are handcrafted in our workshop. Only the cutting and faceting of the precious stones set on our rings are done by professional lapidaries and not in our jewelry workshop.

As you have certainly noticed, we do not resell junk or simple jewelry plated with fine gold and mass-produced, but we manufacture genuine Aztec jewelry designs in pure solid gold or silver in our manufacturing workshop. This implies a lead time necessary for the manufacture of your jewelry, so much so that we detail the time required for its manufacture in the section: Handcrafted Jewelry, on the product page in question.

We master all stages of manufacturing our Aztec gold jewelry in our jewelry workshop, from the creation of digital CAD models, the 3D printing process, the lost wax casting process, the work on the jeweler's bench of 18-karat gold, as well as the setting of our precious stones and diamonds, thus allowing us to guarantee the quality of our jewelry.

Ancient Aztec Jewelry

Aztecs wore a lot of jewelry as it was a way to show their social rank and status to others. Mayas and Aztecs were skilled in craftmanship to work precious metals and they were using a lot of jewelry specific to their culture as lip and nose plugs, Masks, Pectoral necklaces, headdresses, and bells. More than a decorative function, jewelry was a manner to celebrate the gods and represent them in beautiful artifacts. Aztec jewelry has always had a spiritual meaning and social function.

Aztecs already used solid silver and solid gold for the making of jewelry. Jade and turquoise stone were the most precious gems used and reserved for the elite. For Aztec, was the most precious of all gems and represented eternal love. Lower-class Aztec would wear obsidian jewelry.

Symbolism of Aztec Jewelry

As religion was very important and the society strictly hierarchized, Aztec jewelry reflected this social organization. Almost all the jewelry found by archeologists had a spiritual meaning, with designs referring to gods or Aztec mythology. Check this post about Aztec symbols.
