Ezequiel Tapia Bahena

Olmeca Necklace

$1,300.00

Paying tribute to Mexico’s ancestral heritage, this powerful necklace centers on an Olmec-style face sculpted in lapis lazuli, framed by a bold silver bezel with 12K gold accents. The carved expression evokes the mysticism and ceremonial reverence of early Mesoamerican civilizations, surrounded by a radiating motif that echoes traditional headdresses or sunbursts. The chain itself is composed of handwoven sterling silver mesh, detailed with soft golden domes along its length, enhancing the luxurious dual-tone palette. The weight and texture of the mesh drape fluidly while maintaining a bold sculptural presence. On the reverse, the stone’s organic raw surface is revealed—an intentional nod to the origin of the material and the artisan’s respect for natural form. Signed on the back, this necklace is both a statement in design and a deeply rooted expression of cultural identity.
