This dolphin is more than a pendant — it is a gesture. The dolphin in silver is a guardian of deep emotion, a navigator of still waters. Here, the flowing form of Taxco craftsmanship embraces two stones: blue fire opal that plays with light in hypnotic azure tones, and purple zirconia that adds brilliance and contrast. At 3.4 centimeters tall — audacious without overwhelming — the dolphin becomes a visual question: who looks at it, feels seen?

Each stone was set by hand into its silver .950 bezel with the precision that has flourished in Taxco for 500 years. The zirconia is cubic — laboratory-grown crystal with diamond-like sparkle, but honest in its name. The blue fire opal is the stone that speaks, the one that plays with every shift of light. Together, they form a dialogue of contrast: the ethereal opal, the electric purple zirconia. Not one stone, but a conversation.

Taxco does not invent dolphins from nothing. They are forms that drift through the waters of Mexican imagery — protection, intelligence, grace without pretension. For five centuries, Taxco silversmiths have learned to capture movement in metal — not with machines, but with chasing tools, files, and above all, patience. This dolphin carries that lesson in every curve. It is made to order: if you commission this pendant today, it will be assembled in the workshop with your intention in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. We offer sterling silver chains in multiple lengths — 40, 45, 50 cm — that you can add separately.

Q: What is purple zirconia?
A: Lab-created cubic zirconia, facet-cut, in purple. It is a durable crystal with diamond-like brilliance — not diamond or amethyst, but comparable sparkle. We chose purple to contrast with the opal's blue.

Q: Can I request a specific chain?
A: Yes. Email hola@artetaxco.mx with a photo of the dolphin and your desired chain length. We can send you options.

Old pendants, broken chains, inherited silver — we buy it all back. Send photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we will make you an offer, no obligation.
