This pendant captures the magic of blue fire opal in its most intimate form. At 4.4 centimeters long, it's a versatile piece that shines on any chain — from the most delicate to the boldest links. The deep blue color with green and golden flashes of the opal creates a mesmerizing contrast against the polished .950 sterling silver that surrounds it. It's the perfect size to be noticed without being overwhelming: a quiet declaration of your taste for the genuine.

Hand-set stone inlay is one of Taxco's oldest techniques. Each opal is placed individually, without presses or machines — the artisan feels the weight of the stone and the security of the setting. Sterling .950 has a purity higher than the standard .925, making it even more noble and durable. The hallmark is engraved on the bail, your guarantee that what you wear is real silver.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing. In those mountains of Guerrero, generation after generation has perfected the art of working silver by hand. This pendant is heir to that tradition: it is not mass-produced, but a thoughtful, set, and polished piece with the craftsmanship that defines Taxco. When you buy Arte Taxco, you buy history.

Important note: This pendant is sold without a chain. The price is for the pendant only. You can wear it on any chain in your collection or request a recommendation by emailing hola@artetaxco.mx.
