This pendant tells the story of Taxco's craft: the organic form emerges from the casting, and in its shell rests a fire opal that dances between blues, greens, and amber flashes. It's a piece that takes time to see — light plays differently every time you wear it. The hand-setting of the stone is pure work: each finger of the artisan places the opal in its place, no machine to help. No two pendants are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.950 silver is purer than .925 — it's the choice of those who won't settle.
