These earrings are a statement of movement and light. The fire opal in deep blue rests in a cradle of .950 silver, hand-set by Taxco artisans who understand that each stone has its own geometry. At 4.1 cm long, it sways gently with every movement — visible enough to catch light, but balanced so it doesn't strain the earlobe. The .950 silver, purer than .925, offers natural luster that enhances the opal's chromatic play without competition.

Hand-setting is the Taxco signature: no two pairs are identical. Each stone inlay requires millimeter precision — the stone must be secured without uneven pressure, meaning our artisans adjust the metal stone by stone. When you hold these earrings, you hold hours of concentrated craftsmanship in certified .950 silver.

Taxco has been the world's capital of silversmithing for 500 years — a city where the craft of setting, polishing, and composing light in silver are living tradition. These earrings are made there, where each artisan learns the trade from masters who learned from masters before them. It's true that every piece of Arte Taxco carries that lineage.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Opal is more delicate than turquoise or quartz — avoid direct impacts and sudden temperature changes. With care, it will last for years. Store in a case when not wearing.

Q: Can I wear these daily?
A: Recommended for special occasions or occasional wear. If you need everyday earrings, we can make a pair with a more durable stone — write us.

Q: Is each pair different?
A: Yes. They're made to order in Taxco, so while the design is consistent, the stone setting and geometry vary slightly — that's the beauty of hand craftsmanship.
