This pendant echoes the prehispanic obsidian mirror — symbol of truth and clarity — reinterpreted in the contemporary language of Taxco silvercraft. Though modern in cut, its roots are ancient. The size is just right: noticeable enough to make a statement, compact enough for everyday wear. The .950 silver (ninety-five thousandths) gives it weight and presence; the green fire opal, that shimmer of life.

The technique is controlled casting with hand-set stones — each green opal placed individually, no machine press, only precision. The geometric motif is mirror-polished, intensifying the opal's play of light. For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver; in each piece like this, that tradition breathes. Authentic silver, verifiable origin, certificate of authenticity.

Designed to wear without a chain or strung on one you already own — flexibility and the pendant as the star. If you seek prehispanic soul with artisanal roots, here it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — pendant only. String it onto the chain you already love or choose a new one. That way it's more versatile and accessible.

Q: Is it really fire opal?
A: Yes, natural fire opal with green color. The stone is delicate and needs care (no bumps, no chlorine). Reach out before buying if you have doubts.

Q: Can I wear it on a thick chain?
A: Depends on your chain's thickness. Most .925 silver chains 2–4 mm wide fit fine. Send a photo to hola@artetaxco.mx if you're unsure about fit.
