This pendant is more than decoration — it's a guardian of the sea. The starfish, a symbol of renewal and protection in pre-Hispanic traditions, captures the light of fire opal across its facets. Each arm of the star reveals the warm tones of fire opal — orange, red, green — as if you're wearing a sunset close to your heart. At 4.2 cm tall, it is visible and present, yet intimate. Perfect for those seeking something that means, not just looks.

Crafted in .950 silver, the highest purity grade, this pendant honors Taxco's jewelry-making tradition where each setting is a conscious choice by the artisan. The opal is set by hand, stone by stone, in a process that cannot be rushed. Oxidized details frame the multicolor brilliance, creating contrast that reveals the depth of the gem. Hallmark .950: your guarantee of authenticity.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. In every street of this city in Guerrero, workshops pass down techniques through generations — settings, oxidizing, polishing — a craft that is not bought, but lived. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition made present in your wrist, your neck, your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The pendant is sold alone (4.2 cm). Use any silver chain you already have, or write us for thickness and length recommendations.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is more delicate than other stones — avoid submersion, chlorine, and scratches. Store in a case and check the setting periodically if worn daily.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 is purer and rarer — rooted in Taxco's fine jewelry tradition. It is more durable and better suited to delicate stones like opal.
