These earrings capture the majesty of Chichén Itzá — one of the architectural wonders of the prehispanic world — in pure silver and blue fire opal. At just over 3 centimeters, they command presence without excess: perfect for someone who honors Mesoamerican heritage and seeks a piece that speaks from the neck upward. The opal shimmers with those blues and greens that evoke the cenote, the sacred water that surrounded the pyramid.

Each earring is hand-set: the stone is fixed in silver without press or machinery, only with the precision of the craftsman. .950 silver — purer still than .925 — is the hallmark of authenticity stamped into the metal. This is not plated fantasy; it is true silver, sealed, born in the workshops of Taxco where prehispanic tradition and 500 years of silversmithing craft meet.

Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing since the sixteenth century. That these earrings carry prehispanic inspiration is to honor that continuity: today's silver, crafted by Taxco artisans, celebrates the wisdom of those who built Chichén Itzá over a thousand years ago. The Arte Taxco story is part of that unbroken chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is opal of fire?
A: An opal with fire flashes (yellow, orange, red). Ours is blue, a rarer and more sought-after shade. It is natural stone and each one varies slightly in color pattern.

Q: Are earrings this long uncomfortable to wear?
A: At 3.2 cm, many people wear them without issue. If they feel heavy or you prefer shorter, contact us — we can adjust.

Q: Can I swim or shower with them?
A: We recommend removing them. Fire opal is delicate and chlorine can damage it. Wear them for special occasions and store in a dry case.
