They're small (2 cm long), perfect for those who want presence without weight. Each stone was hand-set in sterling .925, meaning the artisan placed and secured each gem individually, bending the silver around it. No press, no mold — just craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sterling .925 with its hallmark (proof of authenticity) guarantees purity. Fire opal is a one-of-a-kind stone — no two share the same color pattern. These are the kind of earrings that start conversations: people ask what they are, where they came from. And the answer is always: from Taxco, Mexico, where for 500 years silversmiths have mastered the art of setting stone in silver. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/nuestra-historia\"\u003eThe Arte Taxco story\u003c\/a\u003e is the story of this tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey're light (only 1.6 g per pair), so they sit well on any ear.
