Each fire opal is one of a kind — with that olive-green hue that shifts to warm tones as light moves across it. These .950 silver earrings were assembled for you in Taxco, with every stone hand-set into place. At 3 cm, they hit the sweet spot: visible enough that the color plays and catches, subtle enough for everyday wear. The post is solid, comfortable, hypoallergenic — fine silver, no shortcuts.

Hand-set technique is pure silversmith craft: each stone is secured with precision, no machine presses or shortcuts. In Taxco, jewelers have mastered this work for 500 years of platería tradition — and today that skill reaches you as earrings with real personality. Fire opal is semiprecious stone, with character that changes with the angle: that's what you're buying when you choose an earring that speaks.

Taxco is not a label — it's the origin of handmade silver across the Americas. Every piece leaving this city meets a standard of craft that machines cannot match. Your opal is set by hands that know, in silver marked with the .950 hallmark of authenticity. That has value — and we stand behind it.

Buy risk-free. If these earrings ever feel like they're not for you, we buy them back. Your silver always has worth with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A semiprecious stone with green and orange flashes. Ours is olive-green — it shifts with the light. Not fragile like white opal, but still delicate: avoid hard impacts and prolonged saltwater.

Q: Is hand-set more durable?
A: Yes. Without machinery, each stone is secured with precision. If a stone ever loosens (rare), replacement is free in the first year.

Q: How does the buyback work?
A: Present your certificate of authenticity, and we buy them back in store credit, no expiration. It's proof your silver always holds value.
