This pendant captures the magic of fire opal in its green incarnation — those flashes of gold and green that emerge when light passes through. The spiral-wrapped form is Taxco's signature: every bend, every polish, every setting done by hand, without molds. It's not a mass-produced piece — it's the result of hours of the silversmith's work. The compact size (just over 3 centimeters) makes it perfect to wear close to your heart, visible yet intimate.

The .950 silver that holds it is purer than .925 — it's Taxco's premium silver, with its hallmark certifying authenticity. Hand-set means each facet of the opal was placed individually, with no press or machine. The stone breathes inside the metal, protected yet visible from every angle.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silver for 500 years. When you hold this pendant, you're holding five centuries of silversmith craft — from the first goldsmiths who arrived in the city in the 16th century to today. The Arte Taxco story is how that tradition stays alive, one piece at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, it's pendant only. You can add a .925 silver chain of your preferred length to your order, or use one you already own.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Opal is more delicate than diamond or turquoise. Avoid hard impacts, don't soak it in water, and store it in a dry case. With normal care, it will last for years.

Q: How is the opal hand-set?
A: The artisan places the stone in its housing within the silver and secures it with gentle metal pressures around the perimeter — it's precision work no machine can do.
