This cross has a quiet presence. The lime-green fire opal sits in the center, catching light with every move — not too large, not shy. The arms carry subtle repousse work that ends in soft waves, details you notice only up close. It's .950 silver, purer than .925, giving it a deep, velvety tone. Light to wear, moves naturally against skin.

The hand-setting of the opal is the craft: each securing point is fixed by hand, one by one, no press, no machine. Fire opal is living stone — it shifts with light and angle. Lime-green in shadow, green fire in sun. It's the kind of stone you buy for its soul, not for certainty. It comes from the heart of Guerrero, worked in Taxco with the same technique for 500 years.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silversmithing — 500 years of silvercraft. Every piece from there carries the signature of time: patience, the error that gets corrected, the hand that learns. This cross is not from a machine. It is from the story of Arte Taxco, from a tradition each generation inherits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the 6 cm pendant only. You can purchase a silver chain separately or use one you already have.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is delicate compared to lab-created stones. Avoid sharp impacts, pressure, and sudden temperature changes. With normal care it lasts for years.

Q: What is the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is purer (95% silver vs 92.5%), which gives a whiter, deeper tone. It costs more and is softer, which is why we use it for pieces where craftsmanship and detail are what you're buying.
