The cross is a symbol of faith and protection — and this Taxco cross carries it in every detail. Fire opal in rose tones is the stone of transformation: its warm hues bring their own luminosity, especially when light touches the pendant. It's not a solid color, but a play of reflections — each opal we set is unique in its pattern. The .950 silver borders frame the stone with precision, and the hand-inlay work ensures each grain fits without excess pressure. It's a small pendant (4.7 cm) — discreet at the neck, but powerful in meaning.

Sterling .950: purity higher than the standard .925 law. The hallmark certifies it — official contrast guaranteeing authenticity. It's what Taxco silversmiths have sought for centuries: nearly pure silver, workable only by experienced hands. In Taxco, where silversmithing was born 500 years ago, this purity remains the signature of quality.

Taxco: world capital of artisanal silversmithing since 1534. Every Taxco cross that leaves these workshops carries five centuries of craft — technique, precision, devotion. The rose fire opal that adorns this pendant was cut and polished in the region; the silver was melted in furnaces that still breathe on the slopes of Guerrero. It's not manufactured; it's the result of artisan decisions: where to place the stone, how to polish the edge, how much light to let in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can choose any silver chain from the shop, or send us a photo of one you own so we can recommend a compatible match.

Q: What is fire opal?
A: It's a variety of opal with warm tones — oranges, reds, yellows — that plays with light. Each stone is unique in its pattern. It's more delicate than quartz; avoid strong pressure and impacts.

Q: Can I customize it?
A: Yes. The pendant is made to order. If you want a different size, another stone, or another technique, write hola@artetaxco.mx with a photo of your idea. Taxco doesn't make copies — every piece is born from a conversation.

Old pendants, broken chains, heirlooms — we buy them all back. Send photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll give you a quote in store credit.
