This pre-Hispanic pendant is a bridge between two worlds. Each line of the design echoes the sacred geometry of Mesoamerica, and the green fire opal crowning it captures light as jade once did. At 3.9 cm long, it's subtle around the neck but powerful in presence — the perfect size for someone who wants to carry tradition without statement. The .950 silver keeps it bright and durable; hand-set work ensures every facet of the stone shines with intention.

Sterling .950 is Taxco's maximum purity, certified by the hallmark. This piece combines multiple artisan techniques in its stone inlay and setting — every adjustment is a manual decision, no machinery or presses. It's a pendant that asks to be touched, admired, worn as an amulet or as a gesture of cultural identity.

Taxco has been the world capital of silver for 500 years. Artisans there inherited techniques from the colonial era and fused them with pre-Hispanic iconography, creating a visual language unlike any other. When you wear a Taxco pendant, you carry that legacy — the story of Arte Taxco and an entire region that lives by and for silver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. We sell chains separately, or use your own — any standard length works with this bail.

Q: What is the combined technique?
A: It means the artisan uses multiple techniques on one piece — in this case, stone inlay and hand-setting, both done by hand without machinery.

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: Yes, but it's more delicate than some stones. Avoid direct impacts and store in a case. Keep it away from saltwater and prolonged perfume exposure.
