These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: each stone radiates flashes of green, yellow, and orange that dance with natural light. At just 3 centimeters long, they are delicate yet visible — the perfect length to let them shine without overwhelming. Hand-set placement ensures every gem's multicolor play takes center stage. The .950 silver, even purer than .925, wraps each stone in a creamy brilliance that complements the opal's warm tones.

Fire opal is a Taxco stone with history. Its setting demands patience: the artisan cannot make mistakes, because the stone is fragile. Every pair you see here is the result of dedication in the silversmithing craft of Taxco — a tradition 500 years old perfecting the art of stone-setting in silver and defining Taxco as the world capital of artisanal silverwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is fire opal more fragile than other stones?
A: Opal contains water in its molecular structure — it doesn't tolerate sudden temperature shifts or very low humidity. Keep your earrings in a dry case and away from chlorine.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is purer (95% silver vs 92.5%). It shines more, is hypoallergenic, and lasts longer — though it's slightly softer to work, which makes the craftsmanship even more precise.

Q: How long does my made-to-order take?
A: Approximately 2–3 weeks from confirmation. The Taxco artisan works one at a time, with no rush. Once ready, we ship in 2–3 business days.
