A cross that breathes color. The blue fire opal inset in .950 sterling captures light as if holding the sky within — each turn reveals new gradations between deep blue and the greenish flashes that define this stone. The setting is done by hand, each detail secured without machinery, the way it has been done in Taxco for five centuries. This is not merely a pendant: it is a symbol worn with authenticity.

Sterling .950 is purer than .925 — containing 95% silver by law, marked with the MÉXICO .950 hallmark that certifies its genuineness. Fire opal is both delicate and noble, and its artisanal setting in Taxco places it within the tradition of jewelry that honors every material. Check the certificate of authenticity for your piece.

Taxco, Guerrero: the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Here are born crosses that transcend the moment — the Arte Taxco story is the story of hands that understand silver like few in the world. This custom-made pendant is an act of craft, not machinery.
