This pendant captures the essence of fire opal: that deep green with flashes of gold and yellow that seem to move as light falls across it. Each stone is unique — the play of fire is unrepeatable. Sterling .950 (purer than .925) frames the stone in a geometric art-deco design, with the stepped edges characteristic of 1930s Taxco when the city rediscovered the silversmith craft.

The setting is hand-work: the stone is placed by hand in its silver bed, fixed without press or machinery. That means each pendant respects the natural shape of the opal — no two are alike. Sterling .950 is softer than .925 and takes a deeper, mirror-like polish that catches the fire of the stone.

Taxco has been the world capital of silvercraft for 500 years. The first silversmiths arrived in the 16th century after silver was discovered in the region; the craft has never stopped since. Stone inlay in silver is a technique inherited from pre-Hispanic art — the goldsmiths of Tenochtitlan already knew this skill. Today, the Arte Taxco story continues that legacy: authentic silver, natural stone, hands of craft.

This pendant is made to order: it's created when you request it. Perfect for someone seeking something no one else will wear. And if you ever decide it's not for you, the Lifetime Buyback Program will buy it back — no expiration.
