This .950 sterling cross brings the sacred light of Fire Opal, a stone of many colors that reflects every hue of the spectrum. Each opal is unique — its reds, oranges, and greens never repeat — and here it is hand-set in pure silver, creating a symbol that blends spirituality with the natural beauty of stone. The setting work demands precision: each facet of the opal is placed individually in its bezel, without press, without machine. The result is a pendant weighing 6.5 g and measuring 6.2 cm long — compact enough for daily wear, prominent enough to be seen and felt.

.950 sterling is the highest authenticity standard: 95% pure silver, marked with the 950 hallmark on the back. In Taxco, where silversmithing tradition spans 500 years, .950 is the signature of pieces that endure. This pendant is handcrafted to order, honoring your request — it may take extra days, but it guarantees that every detail is deliberate, not factory-made.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silverwork. Here, for five centuries, silversmiths have inherited the craft of setting stones, casting, polishing. Every piece that leaves Taxco carries the mark of that tradition: the hallmark that certifies purity, and the hands that made it real. A Fire Opal cross in .950 silver is not just a religious pendant — it is part of a chain of craft that connects your faith with the mastery of Guerrero's silversmith heritage.
