These earrings capture the essence of Fire Opal — that red vein that glows with mineral warmth as it moves. Each stone was selected and hand-set in the workshops of Taxco, where craftspeople with decades of skill transform raw gems into jewelry that tells stories. The fire of opal is never constant — it shifts with light and angle — making every glance a different surprise.

Sterling .950 is purer than .925, with a brighter white luster and superior resistance to scratching. The hallmark certifies this authenticity. French wires are the standard in quality earrings: comfortable, secure, and refined. Hand stone setting is precision work — each opal is placed individually, never with press machines that could crack the gem.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Since the conquest, its miners and jewelers have perfected techniques that live today in every piece of Arte Taxco. When you wear these earrings, it is not just opal and silver — it is five centuries of craft tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Fire Opal natural?
A: Yes. It is common quartz with iron oxide inclusions that create that red-orange fire. Each stone is unique — the play of light never repeats.

Q: Is .950 silver better than .925?
A: Both are authentic. .950 is 95% pure silver (vs. 92.5% in .925), making it whiter and slightly more resistant to scratching. It is the classic choice for heirloom earrings.

Q: Can I order a different size?
A: Yes. Write hola@artetaxco.mx with your exact measurement and we make the pair made-to-order in 2-3 weeks.
