Minimalist earrings that capture the essence of fire opal: that green that plays between deep blue and iridescent flashes. At 2.6 cm long, they're visible enough to shine, yet light enough to wear all day without fatigue. Each stone is hand-set in .925 silver, guaranteeing that your purchase is authentic and built to last.

Stone setting is a technique requiring precision and patience. The Taxco artisan places each fire opal within its silver frame, securing it by hand without presses or machinery. It's watchmaker's work — one of the hallmarks of Taxco's silversmithing craft.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is one of masters who inherit techniques across generations, and every pair you wear is proof of that living legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal delicate?
A: It is softer than other gemstones (5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale). Avoid direct impact, sudden temperature changes, and prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water. With basic care, they last for years.

Q: How long is the production time?
A: Made to order, ships in 2-3 weeks. If you're in a hurry, write us to check in-stock availability.

Q: How do I know the setting is hand-done?
A: The silver surrounding the opal is not perfectly uniform — that's the beauty. Each artisan works at their own pace; minimal variation is the signature of handwork, never machines.
