These earrings capture the magic of fire opal: that play of orange and golden reflections that glimmers with every movement. The discreet size — 2.4 cm — makes them perfect for everyday wear without being invasive, yet the opal's color ensures they won't go unnoticed. Each stone is individually hand-set in .950 sterling, the purest metal in our line, giving the piece that smooth, luminous finish only manual craftsmanship can achieve.

Hand stone setting is a process that demands precision and patience: the Taxco silversmith places each opal in its setting, ensuring it's secure without damaging the delicate gem. This technique is how our artisans answer the question "how do you make the stone shine like that?" — because it's not a machine: it's craft. .950 sterling with its hallmark is proof of authenticity and durability.

Taxco has spent 500 years perfecting the art of setting stones in silver. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that tradition carried forward to today: we don't make replicas; we make jewelry that meets a standard reaching back centuries. Every fire opal we set is chosen for its color and clarity, because in Taxco, the stone is what tells the story.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal the same as regular opal?
A: Yes, it's opal. "Fire opal" is a variety with prominent orange and golden reflections. It's natural, but rarer and more sought after. Protect it from impacts and extreme moisture.

Q: How does hand stone setting work?
A: The artisan places the stone in the silver setting and secures it with hand pressure and manual tools. No press, no machine — each gem is an individual decision. This is why each pair may vary slightly in stone position.

Q: Can I wear these earrings daily?
A: Yes, the size and weight are comfortable. Just avoid chlorine, direct perfume spray, and hard impacts on surfaces. Fire opal is delicate — treat your earrings as the gem they are.
