Fire opal is a stone of movement: every turn of your head releases a flash of green and blue that exists nowhere else. These earrings capture that dance of light in an oval frame, hand-set in .950 silver — the purest law of silver, beyond the standard .925. They are the kind of piece that makes you wonder how something so delicate fits into something so small.

.950 sterling silver is the signature of precision goldsmithing. Each stone is secured individually, without press or machinery — only the eyes and hands of a Taxco artisan. The certificate of authenticity confirms the purity and weight. Opal is a sensitive gemstone that requires care, but that very care is what makes these pieces worth more over time.

Taxco, where these earrings were born, has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. It is no accident that hand-setting technique persists here — it is part of the story of Arte Taxco, where each piece is a vote for craft. Earrings like these are made on commission because each opal is unique: your pair will be unrepeatable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A variety of opal with blue, green, and golden color play. It is more fragile than quartz, but its beauty is unrivaled. Each stone is unique.

Q: Why does it take 2 weeks?
A: Because it is made-to-order, on commission. The artisan selects the specific stone for your pair, hand-sets it, and finishes it. It is not an assembly line — it is real craft.

Q: How do I care for opal?
A: Avoid perfume, chlorine, and salt water. Store in a dry case. Clean only with soft microfiber cloth. Do not leave in intense sun or expose to sharp temperature changes. It is a sensitive stone, but that sensitivity is part of its value.
