Chimalli Guard Necklace

$360.00

Inspired by the strength and geometry of ancient warrior shields, the Chimalli Guard Necklace by Oro de Monte Albán features a rhythmic arrangement of circular medallions, each set with a vibrant turquoise inlay. The central motif—an abstract glyph—recalls pre-Columbian patterns used to convey protection, lineage, and power. Framed by radiating silver textures, each segment is crafted with precision, creating a balance of color, symbol, and movement.
The chain itself is fine yet strong, allowing the medallions to rest naturally along the collar. As a piece of wearable heritage, it brings pre-Hispanic design into the present with clean execution and visual harmony.
