The blue fire opal rests at the heart of the shell, hand-set by Taxco artisans who respect every millimeter of the stone. At 3.9 centimeters, it is the perfect size to be seen without shouting — subtle when you want it, brilliant when the opal catches light. Everyone wears it differently: some pair it with a long chain that falls to the chest, others with a delicate short one. The choice is yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSterling .950 is the Taxco standard: 95% pure silver, backed by the hallmark of authenticity. Hand-set means the stone was placed without machines — each angle was decided by the artisan's hands, giving every pendant a unique, slight variation. If you buy two, they will not be identical.
