Fire opal is a stone with a personality of its own — each example offers a unique interplay of light, and this green is particularly rare. Hand-set in sterling .950 by a Taxco artisan, the pendant measures 3.3 cm, visible enough to make a statement but light enough for everyday wear. The stone sits secure in its silver frame, with enough weight (1.8 g) to feel genuine, yet feather-light on the neck.

Sterling .950 is a higher purity than .925 — it contains 95% pure silver certified by its hallmark. Every piece is set by hand: the craftsman places and secures the stone without machinery, a skill that takes years to master. Your pendant includes a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the metal and origin.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silversmithing for over 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is rooted in that tradition — every pendant we make honors the same methods passed down by master craftsmen across generations. No machine can replicate the touch of a trained hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, this is the pendant only. Choose any silver chain from our collection — that way you control the length and style.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: It's more delicate than diamond or turquoise. Avoid direct impact and excessive water. Stored carefully, it will last a lifetime.

Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: It contains more pure silver (95% vs. 92.5%), making it even more hypoallergenic and durable. On small pieces like pendants, that extra silver thickness adds longevity.
