These earrings capture the essence of fire opal in its most subtle form — green stones with warm undertones that play with the light as you move. Hand-set, piece by piece without machinery, the craftsmanship is visible in every detail. They are the perfect size for all-day wear without weight, yet substantial enough to make a quiet statement of quality.

.950 silver is the purest grade in commercial jewelry — one-tenth more refined than .925. The hallmark certifies it: each earring bears the symbol guaranteeing its authenticity. This is Taxco's signature, the city where silver has been worked with obsessive precision for 500 years. The stone-setting technique demands exactitude: each fire opal must fit its mounting without gaps, without pressure that would crack the gem.

Taxco is not just a place — it is five centuries of unbroken silver craftsmanship, generation after generation. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition held in your hand. When you buy these earrings, you buy not merely a piece, but the confidence of a verified origin.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: Fire opal is softer than other minerals; avoid impacts and prolonged direct sunlight. With care, they last for years.

Q: What is the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is one-tenth more pure. Both are genuine jewelry; .950 is more malleable and requires greater skill to work in the workshop.

Q: How is the opal set by hand?
A: The craftsperson secures the stone in its mounting without mechanical press, carefully shaping the metal around it to avoid fracturing the gem. It is a task that demands hours of experience.
