A pendant that captures fire in solid form: deep blue, wine red, emerald green, and iridescent flashes all live in one fire opal stone. The sharp drop shape is pure minimalism — straight lines, precise angles, nothing to distract from the stone's glow. The setting is hand-placed: each edge of .950 silver wraps around the stone with exactitude, letting light pass through without obstruction.

Sterling .950 — two points purer than standard .925, meaning greater longevity and workability without losing the malleability that makes hand-crafting possible. It carries a certificate of authenticity with its hallmark engraved. The stone-setting technique you see here is not a machine operation: each stone is placed, measured, secured by the hands of a Taxco artisan.

Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silver for 500 years. In its stone-paved streets, generations of silversmiths have perfected every technique — from the most delicate setting to the polish that makes metal shine like a mirror. This pendant is heir to that legacy: the Arte Taxco story is in every angle, in every point of light the opal reflects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — pendant only. You can use any .925 or .950 chain you already own, or choose one from our accessories collection.

Q: What is fire opal?
A: An opal with intense colors — blues, reds, greens, iridescent flashes. Each stone has a unique pattern. It is softer than some gemstones: avoid prolonged soaking and sudden temperature changes.

Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: Greater purity means longer life and deeper luster. It is the Taxco standard for gallery pieces. The price reflects that quality.
