A pendant that captures the ethereal movement of the dragonfly, symbol of transformation and grace in Mesoamerican cultures. The wings in lime-green fire opal shimmer with the stone's characteristic play of light, while the polished silver body maintains visual balance. At 4.8 cm long, it's prominent enough to be the star of any chain you choose, yet understated when you want elegance without excess.

Every detail has been hand-set: the stone was placed individually in its silver frame, without press or machinery. The stone-setting technique of Taxco requires precision and patience — the craftsperson measures, carves, and adjusts until the stone fits perfectly. In lost-wax casting, the dragonfly's body is born as a solid piece, ensuring durability without compromising the airy design.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. Since colonial times, the silversmiths of this city in Guerrero have perfected the craft of working silver, blending pre-Hispanic techniques with Spanish influences. Today, the story of Arte Taxco continues that legacy: every pendant that leaves our workshops honors that tradition.

Fire opal is a delicate and living stone — its colors shift with the light, meaning that each time you wear the dragonfly, it shines uniquely. It's a piece of jewelry that dares to be different, perfect for those who love nature and art made with intention.
