A cross of devotion in .950 silver, the purest alloy that exists. The blue fire opal set by hand at the center glows with that deep blue that seems to hold light within — each drop of color is one-of-a-kind.

Sterling .950 — the alloy used in heirloom pieces. It comes with its hallmark engraved, proof of authenticity made in Taxco. The opal was set by hand, stone by stone — each one placed with an artisan's precision. A technique that demands skill and patience, one that lives on only in the workshops of Taxco.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver, a place where master craftsmen pass their knowledge down through generations. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition — authentic silver, worked without hurry, honoring the craft. This cross was born in that context: not in a factory, but in hands that know what they are doing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No, pendant only. The chain is separate — so you have freedom to choose length and style. Browse our silver chains.

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: .950 silver is purer (95% silver, 5% other metal). It is softer, more brilliant, and more valuable — ideal for pieces with spiritual meaning.

Q: Is opal fragile?
A: Yes, opal is delicate and cannot handle impacts or sudden temperature changes. Store it dry in a case and remove it before bathing. With care, it lasts for years.
