These earrings capture the essence of fire opal — that iridescent stone that shifts color with every movement of light. The circular design with geometric relief echoes prehispanic calendars and symbols, carrying a thousand years of silversmith tradition. Each pair is unique: the opal's fire never repeats itself. Hand stone setting ensures the stone stays secure without industrial machinery that would sacrifice detail. Earrings for those who believe jewelry should tell a story.

.950 sterling silver is the standard of maximum purity — 95% pure silver. Confirmed by the .950 hallmark engraved on each piece. Unlike .925 silver, this density further reduces the chance of allergic reaction and ages with a patina many collectors find more beautiful. In Taxco, where silversmithing spans 500 years of craft, .950 silver is a signature of excellence. Every piece includes a certificate of authenticity.

Taxco is the global home of artisanal silversmithing — for five centuries, generations of silversmiths have perfected every technique, every gesture. This pair is born from that lineage. The Arte Taxco story is the story of silver that breathes.
