Nawals.

Meaningful jewelry inspired by the 20 Nawals of the sacred Maya Cholq’ij calendar.

What is a Nawal?

A day name with meaning.

In the Maya Cholq’ij, 20 named days move together with 13 numerical energies to form a sacred cycle of 260 combinations. A birth date corresponds to a numbered Nawal. Qubal presents this as a cultural and calendrical discovery—not as a generic zodiac.
