These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: that play of red, orange, and golden lights that seem to dance inside the stone. Each piece is one-of-a-kind because opal never repeats — its veins and reflections are nature's signature. The discreet size (just larger than a pea) makes them ideal for everyday wear without sacrificing visual impact. Taxco's .950 silver wraps them in pure brilliance, and the hand-set mounting ensures every facet of the opal shines freely.

.950 sterling silver is the purest form of silver used in fine jewelry — only 5% alloy compared to 7.5% in .925 standard. With the hallmark stamped, each earring is a guarantee of authenticity. Hand-set engagement, stone by stone, is the hallmark of Taxco jewelry-making: a technique requiring patience and mastery, because no two opals are alike and no two settings are identical. Taxco's foundry tradition begins with the unique casting mold for this form, and the setting crowns the craft. The Art of Arte Taxco honors 500 years of silversmith heritage.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is fire opal a natural gemstone?
A: Yes, fire opal is natural stone — a precious gem. Its multicolor (red, orange, gold) is characteristic. Each opal is unique in its veining and light play.

Q: Can I wear these in the shower or pool?
A: Not recommended. Opal is sensitive to sudden changes in humidity and temperature — chlorinated water accelerates dehydration. Keep them dry.

Q: How does hand-setting look?
A: The stone is secured by small prongs of silver folded over the edge — it's the classic Taxco artisan method, very secure and reversible if you ever want to reset the stone.
