These earrings capture the essence of fire opal — that luminous orange that seems to dance in the light. Each stone is hand-set in .950 sterling silver, the purest metal from Taxco, guaranteeing both beauty and durability. The design is geometric and minimal, a clean frame that lets the stone's color be the true star. Perfect for anyone seeking vibrant color without sacrificing elegance.

.950 silver is the signature of Taxco's silversmithing tradition — even purer than .925, it reflects an artisanal commitment to authenticity. Every stone was hand-set, placed individually without press or machine. This process takes hours and makes each pair unique in its finish.

Taxco has been mastering the art of silver for 500 years. It's no coincidence that the finest opal settings on the continent come from here — it's where stone and metal speak the same language. Discover the Arte Taxco story and learn why every piece is an act of artisanal continuity.
