Angular curves and spirals of Mayan stepped-fret glyphs encircle the base of the neck in the ancient (and unpronounceable!) 'Xicalcoliuhqui' design. This little collar is a visual dynamo, with its sinuous motif transcending ancient themes to embody a totally of-the-moment urban chic. This collar is marked with the eagle and has acquired an enchanting patina over the decades. Its solidly executed panels are expertly graduated, enabling it to rest comfortably at the base of the neck. Exceptionally versatile and easy to wear, this spellbinding Mayan collar creates an unforgettable personal signature.
