A pendant that plays with light. Fire opal is the stone for those who love chromatic movement: red, green, blue, and gold in a single piece. Each turn reveals a different hue. Hand-set in sterling .950 — Taxco's purest silver — this pendant has just the right weight and presence to be a statement without overwhelming. The size of a large thumbnail, it's notable enough to be the focal point of your chest.

Hand-set stone inlay means each facet of the stone was placed and fixed individually, without press or mold. It is a technique demanding patience: the silversmith adjusts the stone, verifies the fit, solders, and polishes. In .950 silver — a purity superior to .925 — durability is greater and brightness purer. The certificate of authenticity included with your order confirms this purity and backs your investment.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for over 500 years. Stone inlay in silver is one of the crafts that defines this city: masters who inherit techniques generation after generation, each chisel blow a conscious decision. Your pendant is part of that living tradition. The Art Taxco story is the story of that continuity.

Important note: this pendant ships without a chain. You can pair it with any silver chain you own or purchase one separately. If you'd prefer a suggested chain, write hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll advise you.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. This pendant ships without a chain so you can choose one that fits your style best. Write us if you need a recommendation.

Q: Why does the opal change color?
A: Fire opal contains water in its structure, which refracts light according to angle. Each movement reveals different tones — that's what makes it special and unique.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is purer (95% silver vs. 92.5%), meaning greater durability, less oxidation, and more intense brightness. It's Taxco's premium choice.

Do you have old silver you no longer wear?
