These earrings capture the magic of fire opal: each shift in light reveals deep green olive flashes that dance across the stone. No two opals are alike — fire opal is a living gemstone, and each piece carries nature's fingerprint. At 3 cm, the length is refined and wearable, elegant without burden. The hand-set stone ensures precision — no loose cabochons, no industrial uniformity, just the careful work of a Taxco jeweler whose fingers know the craft.

Sterling .950 — one step purer than standard .925. The hallmark guarantees authenticity. Each pair is assembled in Taxco, the world capital of artisan silver for 500 years. Hand-setting is not quick: measure, trace, file, seat the stone — every step by hand. For small earrings, this means hidden hours of labor that industrial casting cannot replicate.

The story of Arte Taxco is five centuries of silver craft. These earrings are not mass production — they are an inheritance: the confidence that genuine silver, well made, never loses value. It moves hand to hand, generation to generation, always worth rebuying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal a natural stone?
R: Yes — fire opal is natural opal with its own mineral structure. The green flashes are nature's own; no two stones are identical.

Q: What is the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
R: .950 contains 95% pure silver vs. 92.5% in .925 — it is softer and purer. It will tarnish over time with a noble patina, not a flaw.

Q: Can I swim or shower wearing these earrings?
R: We recommend removing them first. Chlorine and salt water can affect the stone and accelerate the silver's natural oxidation.
