This silver cross is far more than a symbol — it is faith expressed as jewelry. The fire opal, with its multicolored reflections dancing between orange, red, and green, breaks the classical geometry of the cross, creating a contrast that mesmerizes. The hand setting — each stone placed individually in its bed of silver — speaks to the respect for the material and the craft that Taxco has perfected over five centuries. Sterling .950 is the highest standard of purity, reserved for pieces that deserve to endure. This pendant fits in your palm, yet its presence is monumental.

The sterling .950 with its hallmark of authenticity guarantees that this is no imitation. The hand stone setting — a technique requiring watchmaker's precision — ensures the opal will remain secure for years. This is jewelry that ages well, that acquires patina and tells stories. And because we know silver has value, the Lifetime Buyback Program lets you resell this pendant whenever you choose, with no expiration.

Taxco is not merely a place on a map — it is the heart of American artisanal silversmithing. For 500 years, the craftspeople of this city in Guerrero have been guardians of techniques the modern world almost forgot. Every cross that leaves a Taxco workshop carries that legacy: the insistence on hand over machine, on time over speed. This pendant is made in Taxco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, the price is for the pendant only. This way you choose the chain that best matches your style — delicate, thick, silver, or another material. I can recommend options if you write to hola@artetaxco.mx.

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A natural opal with fire reflections — reds, oranges, greens — that dance in light. It is delicate and requires care, but it is a beautiful and storied stone. Not synthetic.

Q: Is the silver really .950?
A: Yes. It comes with a hallmark of authenticity. It is purer than .925 and more resistant over time. See certificate of authenticity.
