This lizard pendant captures the essence of movement — the adaptability and vitality that defines these ancient reptiles. Each segment of the body holds fire opal inlays, whose veins of multicolor (red, green, orange) ignite when light touches them. It is a piece that breathes, that shifts character with every angle and hour of the day. The hand-set inlay of each stone in .950 silver is an act of precision — no two inspirations are alike.

.950 silver is the supreme purity of Taxco. While .925 is the world standard, .950 reflects the mastery of Taxco silversmiths who perfected their craft over five centuries. The hallmark on this piece proves its authenticity and value. Each segment shows the visible work of the setting: the stone is not hidden, it is celebrated.

Taxco, the world capital of artisanal silver, has been home to pieces like this since 1534. The Arte Taxco story is the story of those who choose quality without compromise — pure silver, real stone, time instead of machines. This pendant is a direct heir to that tradition: made-to-order, by hand, for anyone who values authenticity over quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The pendant is sold alone. Wear it on any chain you prefer — we recommend 45–50 cm to fall at the chest. Write us if you need a thickness or material suggestion.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is more delicate than other stones. This piece is designed for mindful daily wear — avoid hard impacts, don't submerge in water, clean dry. Its multicolor beauty deserves that care.

Q: How is the hand-set inlay made?
A: Each stone is placed individually into its silver setting, without press or machine. The silversmith secures it with his own hands and precision tools. That is what you see in every segment: the stone is not hidden.
