Every fire opal is a universe of color. The fire opals that light these earrings combine deep reds, fiery oranges, and flashes of green and blue that shift in the light — like wearing a sunset's flames captured in stone. In 950 silver, the purest metal worked in Taxco, each opal was hand-set, one of the most delicate tasks in artisanal jewelry: the craftsman must know exactly how much pressure to apply each time, because an opal crystal can shatter if forced.

Sterling 950 is 95% pure silver — higher than the 925 standard found in many pieces. The hallmark stamped inside is proof of its authenticity. At this purity, the metal is more malleable, allowing the fine hand-setting work that will hold the opal for years. In Taxco, 950 silver is reserved for pieces of greater commitment — certificate of authenticity included.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. The story of Arte Taxco is the story of this millenary silvercraft tradition: heirs to pre-Hispanic techniques, masters teaching apprentices the craft one hammer blow at a time. When you buy these earrings, you buy 500 years of know-how.
