These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: that interplay of green, orange, and red flashes that seem to contain light itself. Each stone is unique, with its own color pattern. The hand-set crafting in .950 silver — the highest purity in silversmithing — ensures the stone shines without competition. The compact size (2.3 cm) makes them perfect for daily wear or for anyone who prefers understated yet striking earrings.

The geometric square base combines contemporary design with Taxco's traditional craft. Every detail — the decorative perforations, the polish, the setting — speaks of hours of artisanal work. Sterling .950 guarantees durability and unmatched brilliance. The .950 hallmark certifies authenticity.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. In this region of Guerrero, generations of silversmiths have perfected the art of setting stone in silver, of creating volume and light with noble metal. The Arte Taxco story is part of that unbroken tradition. Every piece is an act of continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: It rates 6–6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale — softer than quartz, but resistant to careful daily wear. Avoid impacts, very hot water, and chlorine. With care, it lasts decades.

Q: Does each pair have different colors?
A: Yes. Opal is a natural stone — each one has its own play of fire. No two pairs are identical, making yours truly one-of-a-kind.

Q: Can I customize the length or closure?
A: Absolutely. These are made-to-order — if you want 2.5 cm, hoops instead of hooks, or lever backs, let us know before you order.
