This orca pendant captures the nobility and intelligence of the ocean's most fascinating cetacean. At just 4 centimeters long, its size is intimate — perfect to wear close to your heart or visible on your chest, depending on how you layer. The polished silver body contrasts with the back set in blue fire opal, which shifts tone with light: an effect of the sea in motion. Orcas are ancestral symbols of family, protection, and wisdom — a reminder of our deepest connections.

Crafted in Taxco using lost-wax casting — each pendant is poured into a mold, then the fire opal is hand-set into the cavity on the whale's back. The .925 silver bears its visible hallmark, a guarantee of authenticity. The setting is careful: the stone shines without being tight, allowing it to catch light in different ways.

Taxco, the silversmith capital of the world for 500 years, is home to this tradition. The story of Arte Taxco is the story of artisans perfecting techniques today to create pieces that last generations. Every orca that emerges from our furnaces is a promise: solid silver, no fillers, no tricks, no rush.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. This is the pendant only. Any silver chain 40–60 cm works beautifully; buy one separately or use one you already own.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is more delicate than turquoise or onyx. Avoid direct impacts and don't soak in hot water. With normal care, it will last for years.

Q: Can I customize it?
A: Yes — email us at hola@artetaxco.mx to ask about engravings, sizes, or stone color changes.
