This pendant celebrates fire opal — the stone that catches light like liquid fire. Its geometric form — inspired by pre-Hispanic spirals — honors Taxco's silversmith tradition, where each stone is set by hand, without machinery, to ensure it shines from every angle. It's small but powerful: just 5.7 cm tall, enough to be noticed without overwhelming. Perfect for those seeking something singular, with weight and meaning.

Sterling .950 is Mexico's highest purity standard — even purer than .925 — marked with the refiner's hallmark, your guarantee of authenticity. Hand-setting the stone is pure craft: the artisan must hold the stone in hand while securing each silver tip, measuring force so it gleams without breaking. No two are ever identical.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. Since the conquest, these workshops have perfected the art of transforming silver into forms that tell stories. The Art Taxco story is part of that legacy — every piece reflects that tradition of precision and beauty.

This pendant comes without a chain so you can choose exactly what you want: a delicate fine chain, a bold chunky one, silver or another material. You decide. And when you're ready to move on, we buy back your piece in the Lifetime Buyback Program, no expiration, up to 35% in store credit. Your silver always has value.
