A pendant that speaks of movement and grace. The whale tail, barely larger than a coin, captures fire opal in sky blue — that tone that feels like seawater. It is not heavy jewelry: it is a gesture. Something that looks right over any chain, and sparks conversation because its size is deliberate — visible enough to notice, delicate enough to wear every day.

Silver .950 — purity higher than the international standard .925 — worked in Taxco, where the ritual of hand-setting is the craft. Each fire opal stone is placed individually into its silver bed; no press, no machine can do it. Fire opal is a delicate mineral that plays with light, so the setting must be precise. This is why Taxco remains the silver jewelry capital of the world: the Arte Taxco story is the story of a craft that cannot be automated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. This is the pendant alone, 2 cm long. Chain is sold separately — so you choose the length, material, and style that works best for you.

Q: How delicate is fire opal?
A: It is a porous mineral. Avoid perfume, chlorine, and salt water. Wear it without pressing against hard surfaces. With basic care it lasts for years.

Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: Higher purity, purer silver. In Taxco, pieces with delicate stones use .950 so the setting is more stable and long-lasting.
