The sun is one of the oldest symbols there is, and Mexico has been drawing it for millennia — here reduced to its essentials, rays radiating from a single polished stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rays are formed rather than cut. We shape them in \u003cem\u003emedia caña\u003c\/em\u003e — a half-round section drawn to a point, the same technique we use for our Sol earrings, pendant and scarf ring. It gives each ray a rounded, dimensional body instead of a flat profile. Our larger Sol pins are made in \u003cem\u003ecalado\u003c\/em\u003e, pierced flat from sheet; this one is formed, which is why the rays catch light along their length instead of across a face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it on a lapel, a jacket, a scarf, a bag — or the band of a hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: .925 sterling silver, hand-polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: rays formed by hand in media caña, a half-round section drawn to a point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003enatural jade, lapis lazuli, malachite, black onyx or pyrite, 2cm (.8\") diameter, cut by our lapidary in Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacking: locking pin clasp, or neodymium magnetic back (10 x 3 mm)\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: our workshop in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order: 4–6 weeks from order to delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping: worldwide.
