The lizard has symbolized adaptability and flowing movement in Taxco jewelry for generations. These earrings capture that sinuous nature in pure silver, crowned with a blue fire opal that glows like a drop of water caught between hot stones. Each earring is hand-sculpted and polished so light dances across the reptile's contours — a piece that tells stories without words.

Hand stone setting means the artisan cradles each fire opal in silver without a hydraulic press or machinery: precision work, stone by stone. Sterling .925 carries its hallmark of authenticity, proof that what shines is real silver, never plating.

Taxco, Guerrero, has been the birthplace of handcrafted silversmithing for 500 years. Along its narrow streets and in its workshops, the tradition of shaping silver by hand has passed from master to apprentice, creating a living heritage now recognized worldwide. The Arte Taxco story is part of that continuity: jewelry born from craft, not indifferent machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is fire opal hand-set into silver?
R: The artisan creates a small cup in the silver and seats the stone without a mechanical press, one piece at a time. It takes longer, but ensures the gem won't crack.

Q: What does the hallmark mean?
R: It's the proof of authenticity for .925 sterling silver — required by law in Mexico and a guarantee of purity. It's engraved on the earrings.

Q: Can I wear these every day?
R: Yes, sterling .925 is durable. Avoid strong perfumes, chlorine, and direct impacts on the stone. Keep them dry.
