These earrings capture the movement and beauty of Pacific starfish. Each piece measures 3.7 cm long — the perfect size to shine without overwhelming. The fire opal with its green lime tones sparkles in the light, revealing the internal flashes that make this stone unique. Fine silver granules surround each starfish, handwork that takes hours in Taxco's workshops.

Sterling .950 is purer than .925 — it contains 95% fine silver, a luxury you feel in the weight and shine. Each starfish is set by hand, no machinery. Fire opal is a natural stone, and like nature, it breathes: every pair has its own color map, no two are identical. Certificate of authenticity included.

Taxco has been the world capital of silversmithing for 500 years — since the 16th century, Guerrero's master artisans have perfected the craft of turning silver into stories. These earrings inherit that tradition: natural stone + pure silver + hand work + time. The Arte Taxco story is the story of why every piece matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal natural?
A: Yes — it is a natural stone, and like nature, every pair has its own unique color map. Green-lime tones vary slightly between pieces, and that is what makes them beautiful.

Q: What is granulation?
A: A pre-Hispanic technique: tiny spheres of silver are hand-soldered to the surface. Each grain is placed individually — pure Taxco craftsmanship.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower?
A: Better to avoid. Fire opal is a delicate stone — prolonged water exposure will dull it. Wear them for outings and store them dry in a box.
