These earrings capture the essence of fire opal in its most sophisticated shade: deep olive green that plays with iridescent flashes. Each square of fire opal was hand-set in sterling .950, a purer metal than standard sterling — the choice of those who demand maximum purity. The geometric design with a central opening echoes Prehispanic architecture, while the precision-polished finish reflects hours of manual work in the workshop.

Fire opal is a delicate stone, but durable when cared for properly. The hand-setting technique you see here — no press, no automation — ensures the stone is firmly secured. Sterling .950 is more resistant to oxidation than standard .925, making these earrings a long-term investment. Stone inlaying in Taxco demands watchmaker-grade precision and has been refined over generations.

Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silver for 500 years. Since the sixteenth century, when the first mines were discovered, silversmiths of this region have perfected techniques that are passed down today from one generation to the next. These earrings are the result of that heritage: the Arte Taxco story lives in every piece that leaves our workshops.
