The blue fire opal — stone of spiritual transformation and renewal — shines in every facet of the setting, catching light in verdant blue-green hues. The .950 silver, even purer than .925, strengthens the spiritual character of the piece: it is the metal of devotion, historically chosen for religious objects in Taxco for five centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-setting each stone in the cross requires the artisan's skill and patience. It is not an industrial process; every point of contact between silver and opal is secured by hand. You can see it in the subtle lines of the profile: the work of the hand, not the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco, the world's capital of artisanal silver, has been the heart of silversmithing in Latin America for 500 years.
