These earrings capture the essence of fire opal — that gemstone that looks like red embers trapped inside crystal. Each piece is a drop of color suspended from your ear, glowing as you move. The size is discrete yet striking: large enough to show the brilliance, elegant enough for daily wear or a special night out.

Sterling silver .950 is the purest silver Taxco produces — just below platinum in purity. The setting is entirely by hand: each opal was placed one by one by an artisan in the workshop, with no machinery or press. The hallmark (.950) certifies authenticity. These are heirloom-quality earrings.

Taxco has been the heart of artisanal silversmithing in Latin America for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is woven into every silver piece born in the Guerrero valley. When you buy from Taxco, you buy craft, not just material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal a natural stone?
A: Yes, fire opal is a natural gemstone of igneous origin. The intense red tone you see in these earrings is characteristic of Mexican fire opals.

Q: Why is .950 silver better than .925?
A: .950 silver is 95% pure silver (vs. 92.5% in .925), making it more hypoallergenic, brighter, and more durable. It is the preferred choice for luxury jewelry in Taxco.

Q: How do I care for an opal?
A: Opals can dry out if exposed to very dry environments. Store your earrings in a closed case, avoid direct heat and chemicals (perfume, chlorine). A soft microfiber cloth is enough to clean them.
