Fire opal is the jewel of precious stones — each example is unique, with reflections ranging from reddish-orange to greenish-yellow, never two alike. These earrings capture that essence at an intimate scale, the size of a grain of rice, perfect for anyone who wants color without visual noise. The sterling silver secures them with certainty; the hand-set mounting guarantees each stone is placed with precision.

Stone inlay is a craft of patience — each fire opal must be measured, fitted, and secured without mechanical press, only the silversmith's hands. In Taxco, this technique has pre-Hispanic roots; today's artisans inherit it with pride. Authentic silver with its .925 hallmark in every piece.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver craftsmanship for 500 years. Here begins the art of working silver into forms that other cities cannot replicate — the Art Taxco story is the story of that living craft. Every earring you wear carries with it the tradition of hundreds of hands that master the metal.

Ultra-lightweight (0.76 g per pair), comfortable for extended wear. Fire opal is a delicate stone; these earrings ask for care, but in return they give you a light show every time you put them on.
