Each earring breathes inner light. The fire opal in olive green tone floats within a frame of geometric frets — that visual language we inherited from ancient civilizations, reimagined in .950 silver from Taxco. They're not oversized, but they command attention: 3.4 cm of height captures movement with every turn of your head. The stone setting is done by hand, which means each facet of the opal was placed individually, respecting the stone's unique character.

Sterling .950 — a purer law than .925 — bearing its hallmark engraved as a guarantee of authenticity. It's a choice that speaks to a commitment to the genuine. Fire opal, with its volatile nature and play of reflected colors, demands an expert hand to stay secure without losing its fire. That's why it's hand-set in Taxco, where centuries of stone-setting tradition run deep.

Taxco is not just a name. For 500 years, this city in Guerrero has been synonymous with artisanal silversmithing. Every craftsperson working there inherits knowledge their grandparents inherited from theirs — how to measure a stone, how to calculate metal, how to make a piece last. These earrings come from there, and that's visible in every millimeter. Learn the Arte Taxco story.
