These turtle earrings capture the elegance of the sea in every movement. The turtle — symbol of longevity and protection in Prehispanic cultures — is reborn here in pure silver with the contained fire of opal, a stone that shifts color with the light, just as the ocean breathes. Each opal is unique: the greens, purples, and golds you see are the result of millions of years of mineralization. Hand-setting them in silver requires artisan precision — this is not cold stone; it is mineral fire glass.

Sterling .925 with its hallmark engraved — a guarantee of purity and authenticity only found on Taxco silver. The opal is set individually in each piece; the visible setting is part of the design, not a flaw. The hand stone inlay technique demands that every facet of the opal be secured with precision, because one misplaced line of silver disqualifies the piece. It is the craft of patience.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. Here the art of setting stones in silver without machines was born — where each craftsperson inherited from their master, who inherited from another, the skill to read the stone and understand how silver must protect it. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition brought to the present: authentic silver, honest work, no shortcuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: It is more delicate than other stones because it contains mineral water. Avoid impacts, chlorine, and saltwater. Stored dry in a case, they last for years.

Q: Does each pair have different opals?
A: Yes — that is the nature of the stone. Each fire opal has its own unique color play. The two earrings in a pair are similar specimens but never identical.

Q: Can I order them in a different size?
A: Yes, email hola@artetaxco.mx with your idea and we'll quote you.
