A dragonfly suspended in pure silver. Each wing carries carved lines that catch the light; the body articulates a fire opal whose brilliance embraces orange, red, and green tones — each stone is unique, as is this piece. It measures just over 4 centimeters: the perfect size to stand out without overwhelming. Hand-set by the master silversmiths of Taxco, where for over 500 years the art of placing stone in silver has been perfected with the precision of fine jewelry craftsmanship.

Sterling .950 is purer than .925: 95% fine silver, just 5% copper. It carries the 950 hallmark as a guarantee of authenticity. Fire opal is a semi-precious stone of incomparable opalescence — each example offers a unique chromatic pattern, making this pendant a piece without duplicate. The visible setting celebrates the craft: no machines, only the artisan's hand deciding how to secure the stone so it remains safe and brilliant.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. In its streets and workshops, for over 500 years, the art of working silver has been perfected: casting, shaping, setting. This dragonfly is part of that heritage — not a factory product, but the result of ancient crafts applied today. When you wear this pendant, you carry the history of Taxco on your chest.
