These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: with every tilt of your head, greens and golds awaken in the natural stone. Sterling .950 — purer than .925 — embraces the gem in a hand-set mount that guarantees each stone is secured individually, without press or machines. This is jewelry you can feel in its weight and polish.

Hand stone setting in Taxco is precision craft: the artisan measures, shapes, and fits the exact space so the stone rests securely. Fire opal is a capricious stone, full of natural inclusions that ensure no two are identical — which is why every pair is one of a kind, even within the same collection.

Taxco has spent 500 years perfecting the art of mounting stone in silver. The Arte Taxco story is the story of artisans who inherit these techniques generation after generation, guarding the secrets of how to make stone and silver become one. When you wear these earrings, you carry five centuries of silver craft in your ears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal has moderate hardness. We recommend avoiding direct impact, perfumes, and salt water. Store in a case when not wearing.

Q: Why does each pair of opals look different?
A: Because fire opal is a natural stone; each has unique inclusions. That is precisely its beauty — no two are the same.

Q: Is .950 sterling better than .925?
A: Yes; it is purer (95% silver vs 92.5%) and more resistant to oxidation. For earrings, where durability matters, it is the best choice.
