Just over 4 centimeters long, this starfish sits proportional to the chest — striking without overwhelming, perfect for daily wear or special occasions. The blue opal in the center catches light with every breath, a detail that feels personal only when you wear it.

Each arm of the starfish carries artisanal granulation: tiny spheres of silver soldered by hand, one by one. This is a pre-Columbian technique still alive in the workshops of Taxco. The stone is set by hand, no press, no machinery — the silversmith carefully shapes the metal around the opal, ensuring it holds. In .950 silver with the .925 hallmark, the piece is solid and built to last.

Taxco has been the world capital of silver for 500 years — the story of Arte Taxco honors that craft. Every pendant we make keeps that tradition of handwork and properly set stone alive. Buy risk-free: if you ever decide you're done wearing it, we buy it back up to 35% in store credit.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, the pendant is sold alone. You can wear it on any silver or steel chain; we also sell .925 silver chains in different lengths.

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: Fire opal is more delicate than quartz — avoid direct impacts, sudden temperature changes, and chlorine. With normal care it lasts years. Check the setting every six months.

Q: Can I wear this every day?
A: Yes, but we recommend removing it for sports, swimming, or chlorinated water. The stone is beautiful and deserves care.
