These earrings capture the shamanic essence of Taxco in the form of a frog — that nocturnal guardian of rivers and sacred waters. Each earring is a sculptural piece: rounded body, extended legs, head raised in alert posture. The fire opal, with its flashes of red, orange, green, and yellow, transforms the frog's back into a mirror of primordial flame — the same fire that Taxco's silversmiths have used for 500 years to bring silver to life.

The hand-set stone inlay technique is a craft of precision: each opal is placed individually, its facets calculated to catch light and reveal the gem's internal fires. In .950 silver, purer even than standard .925, these earrings are a commitment to excellence. The certificate of authenticity that accompanies each piece attests to that purity and dedication to craft.

Taxco is not just a name on a map — it is a promise. For five centuries, silversmiths of this city have carved, set, and cast silver beneath the same skies of the Sierra Madre del Sur. These earrings carry that heritage in every detail, the Art Taxco story encoded in metal and stone. When you wear them, you are not simply acquiring jewelry; you are accessing a lineage.
