These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: that deep blue with iridescent flashes that shift with every angle of light. Each stone is hand-set in sterling silver .925, work that demands precision and years of experience. They're lightweight — comfortable to wear all day — yet substantial enough to tell a story of true craftsmanship.

Taxco silver is a promise of authenticity. This pair carries a certificate of authenticity documenting its purity. The hand-setting visible in every detail is the signature of an ancient craft that refuses machines and shortcuts. Each earring is subtly unique because it was made by human hands, not cast from an industrial mold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Yes, more delicate than crystal. Avoid direct impact and store in a case. It's better suited for occasional wear than daily intensive use, but rewarding if cared for properly.

Q: Can I swim in them?
A: No. Chlorine and salt water damage opal. Remove before bathing or swimming, and avoid spraying perfume directly on the stone.

Q: Is the setting secure?
A: Yes. The stone is hand-set using traditional Taxco technique. If it ever loosens, contact Arte Taxco for repair.
