Fire opal is the stone of transformation — lime-green, luminous, almost translucent when light passes through it. These earrings capture that green fire in miniature, hand-set in sterling .950, the purest silver that Taxco works after .999. A small but powerful pair: 3.3 cm long, which means they dangle delicately without weight. The assembly is symmetrical — each stone set by hand, ensuring every opal is secured as it should be. For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing, and this hand-setting technique is one of its signatures: no machine can replace the precision of the artisan's eye and hand.

Sterling .950 is softer than .925 but purer — perfect for pieces where the setting must be delicate. You'll notice the metal shines with a different depth. The certificate of authenticity that comes with your pair ensures it is genuine .950 silver, sealed with the .950 hallmark at the base of each earring.

These earrings are for those who understand that the small jewel is the most powerful — the one seen in the movement of hair, in the light of conversation. Fire opal green is the stone of rebirth and change; silver is protection. Together, they are a talisman that hangs from your ear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the fire opal natural?
A: Described as fire opal. The stone is fragile and sensitive to humidity changes — which is why the care instructions matter.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 is purer and more flexible for hand setting — the stone stays more secure. Plus, it shines differently: with deeper brilliance.

Q: Can I wear these every day?
A: They are delicate due to the stone. We recommend wearing them for special occasions or when there's no risk of impact — the silver is resilient, but opal is sensitive.
