These earrings celebrate the delicate dragonfly with two stones that speak together. The fire opal radiates flashes of yellow, orange, and green — that inner fire only opal holds — while the purple circonia brings depth and contrast. Each earring measures 4 cm from hook to tip, the perfect scale: noticeable without overstating.

Hand-set stone inlay requires millimeter precision. Every stone is placed individually in its silver setting, soldered without press or machine. Fire opal is a volatile stone — beautiful but fragile — and demands the special skill of Taxco artisans to survive daily wear unbroken. This work is the mark of fine jewelry craft.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silver for 500 years, and these earrings are the fruit of a tradition that mass production cannot replicate. The Arte Taxco story is also the story of how this craft persists. Every pair that rises from Taxco carries that persistence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A semi-precious stone with yellow, orange, and red flashes. It is more delicate than quartz, which is why our Taxco masters use techniques that minimize fracture risk.

Q: Is purple circonia the same as amethyst or diamond?
A: No. Circonia is cubic zirconia — an engineered stone that sparkles brilliantly and is very durable, but is a distinct material from diamond or natural gemstones. Here it complements the fire opal's glow.

Q: Can I wear these in the shower or swimming pool?
A: Fire opal is sensitive to salt water and chlorine. Remove them before swimming or bathing. Store in a dry case when not wearing.
