The dragonfly flies between two worlds — water and air — and in Taxco, silver artisans capture that moment of transformation in every piece. This 4.7-centimeter pendant showcases wide wings covered with fire opal that shifts color in the light: green, orange, red, all in a single stone. The body is articulated with silver granules, and each wing was hand-set — no machines, stone by stone. It's a pendant for someone who believes beauty lives in detail and in the story each shift of light tells.

Authentic .950 sterling silver with hallmark. Hand stone setting is one of Taxco's most respected techniques: each stone is placed individually in its bezel, without industrial presses. Fire opal is a fragile and unique stone — no two are alike — so every pendant is singular. When you wear it against your skin, body heat brings out the stone's richest tones.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for over 500 years. Since colonial times, the silversmiths of this town in Guerrero have perfected techniques that remain alive today in the hands of jewelers who work as they always have: with patience, precision, and respect for the material. This pendant is not a product — it is the result of that tradition. The Arte Taxco story backs every gram of silver you wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. Chains are sold separately; we recommend 45 cm or longer so it drapes at the height you prefer.

Q: How is the opal hand-set?
A: Each stone is placed in its silver bezel and secured manually with jeweler's tools — no industrial machines. That's why every piece is unique — no two opals are identical.

Q: Is opal fragile?
A: Yes, it requires care. Avoid direct impacts, chlorine, and perfume. When not wearing, store in its pouch. With that care, it will last for years.
