These earrings capture the magic of fire opal in its purest form: a deep red that shifts with light, set in .950 silver — the purest alloy after pure silver itself. Each stone is placed by hand in Taxco, no pressing machines; the artisan must feel the exact pressure so the opal glows without breaking. At 2.3 cm, the size is perfect: visible, felt, and never too heavy for daily wear. Made to order, each pair carries the minimal variations that make it one-of-a-kind.

.950 silver is softer than .925, allowing finer setting and deeper polish. The certificate of authenticity guarantees the alloy and weight. The craft of hand-setting stone is one of Taxco's oldest arts — the Arte Taxco story is built on artisans who learn this skill from childhood, passing it forward generation to generation.
