These earrings capture the spectrum of fire opal: red, orange, green, and blue coexist in each stone. No two fire opals are alike — every pair you wear is one-of-a-kind. The hand-setting in sterling silver ensures the stone is secure yet visible from every angle, allowing light to play with its colors. At just 3 cm long, they're lightweight and comfortable for daily wear, yet striking enough for any occasion.

Hand stone setting in Taxco is an art that combines precision and patience. Each stone is placed individually, without mechanical presses — the artisan's hand is the tool. This traditional goldsmithing technique ensures the fire opal is protected and that the silver breathes around it, letting it shine naturally. Stone setting is the invisible hero of fine jewelry: one wrong move and the piece is lost. One right move, and the stone becomes eternal.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that inherited craft, translated into pieces that honor tradition without losing modernity. Fire opal, with its sunset colors, is a tribute to the light that has illuminated Taxco's workshops since Spanish conquest and silver was first discovered in these mountains.

A: Yes. They weigh just 2.3 g total — you'll barely feel them. The hook closure is standard and secure.
