Braiding black leather, Roy Nilson crafts a bracelet for men that recalls the art and beliefs of the ancient Aztecs. A finely-crafted skull glares from within the jaws of a jaguar to centre the design. All young Mexica, or Aztec men, at the age of 14, were required to learn about weaponry and the art of war in special schools. Elite Aztec warriors wore headdresses denoting their honoured status in this case, as a jaguar and warrior, or knight.

The jaguar skull serves as the bracelet's button clasp.

The Maya firmament was blessed with a privileged location that allowed them to see the galaxy's centre and its harmonious pace, which guided them in every aspect of their lives. This unique way to connect nature and humanity resulted in the Mayan astrology sign, an ancient doctrine intended to identify each person's spiritual nature by looking at the stars.

As a way to wear your Mayan identity, Maura Parra from Guatemala creates this leather-cord nickel necklace for those born on the Toj day, the day of the “offering” in the nahual language. With a ritual bonfire embossed in the round pendant along with the sign's name, the accessory represents the souls born with great adaptability and a special connection with justice, making them helpful community members and also good agriculturists.
