Zia Jewelry:The New Mexico Sun Symbol

Black Onyx Zia Symbol Pendant

Black Onyx Zia Symbol Pendant

Well I’m on my way to Santa Fe, NM  for the weekend and thought it would be a good day for me  and my wife to adorn ourselves with some beautiful Zia Symbols. The New Mexico Sun Symbol has a lot of meanings and a great history in the southwest where we live. The Zia Symbol has four rays pointing in each direction. Here are some of the meanings and symbolism of the Zia Pendant

The Number 4 Represents:

  • The four points of the compass: north, south, east and west.
  • The four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
  • The four phases of the day: morning, noon, evening and night.
  • The four stages of life: childhood, youth, adulthood and old age.
  • The belief that with life comes four sacred obligations: to develop a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit and a devotion to the welfare of others.

The meanings of this symbol are so deep that anyone can find a meaning that is suited to them. We Love it for its rich history and great fashion. Enjoy it for whatever reason you decide.

Zia Jewelry “The Sun Symbol”

Nothing has quite maintained its hold on the American Southwest in recent years like the Zia (southwest sun symbol) symbol. The New Mexico State symbol and its meanings have exploded in popularity, and today countless people are scrambling to find gifts that have meaning and are not just a gift for gifts sake. Sometimes the best gifts are those that carry that connection into the lives of the people giving and receiving these gifts. Handmade items tend to last longer, look better and have more meaning than their machine-stamped counterparts, and nowhere is that more true than with Rick Sindeband’s Handmade Sterling Silver Zia Jewelry.

Most of our designs are 100 percent sterling silver, cut and twisted by hand into the kind of treasure you will not be able to help showing off.
