Gold, jade, obsidian, and silver were all used by Aztec/Mayan artists. Jewelry wasn’t just meant to be beautiful, it also signified a wearer’s social status or had religious significance. Early Aztec/Mayans were also interested in body modification and created pieces meant to pierce the wearer’s nose, lips, or ears! Around 900 AD, the Toltec civilization was also known for its incredible use of turquoise and other gemstones in jewelry, art, and religious iconography. Even more prized by Toltec artists was jade, a rich green gemstone. Jade was viewed as a gift from the gods to the Toltec people who used it in jewelry and to adorn their weaponry!
