This pendant captures the essence of fire opal in its deepest blue. At just 4.1 centimeters, it is delicate enough for everyday wear, yet striking enough that whoever sees it knows you're wearing something truly special. The stone is set by hand in the workshops of Taxco, where silver is not just crafted — it is witnessed, piece by piece.
Sterling .950 is purer than .925: it contains 95% authentic silver, stamped with its hallmark guarantee. It is the choice of those seeking maximum authenticity without sacrificing durability. Hand stone setting is what separates a mass-produced piece from one that carries the breath of craftsmanship.
For 500 years, Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silversmithing. Every piece that emerges from its workshops — like this pendant — is part of a tradition that cannot be manufactured, only transmitted. When you buy silver from Taxco, it is not just a material: it is a connection to centuries of mastery. Learn the Arte Taxco story and why origin matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The pendant is sold alone at 4.1 cm. You can use a chain you already own or purchase a new silver one to match your style.
Q: How is the stone hand-set?
A: The craftsperson places each stone individually in the metal and secures it with controlled pressure techniques. It is more delicate and durable than machine setting.
Q: Why .950 sterling and not .925?
A: .950 contains 95% pure silver (versus 92.5% in .925). It is brighter, purer, and perfect if you seek maximum authenticity, though slightly softer.
