Oceanic minimalism in pure silver. These earrings capture the motion of a submerged whale tail, with each lobe of olive-green fire opal hand-set one by one in pure silver. At 3 cm long, they're visible enough to shine without overwhelming — perfect for anyone who loves the ocean without need to shout. Fire opal shifts its tone with light: forest green indoors, sea green in natural daylight. An optical gamble that only happens in Taxco, where artisans have spent 500 years perfecting stone setting.

.950 silver — two grades purer than standard .925 — with hallmark stamped as proof of authenticity. Hand stone setting — each stone placed individually — is what separates this piece from the machine. A Taxco jeweler spends hours, sometimes a full day, on this technique for one pair of earrings alone. The silver adapts to the stone's contour, not the other way around. That's why no two pairs are identical.

Taxco, Mexico: 500 years as the world capital of handcrafted silversmithing. Every earring you wear connects to that legacy — it's not just jewelry, it's heritage on your ear. When you decide you no longer wear them, Arte Taxco buys them back. Your silver never loses value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A translucent opal with fire flashes — in this pair, with an olive-green base tone that shifts with light. Not a precious gemstone, but its reflective play is worth every peso.

Q: Is the stone setting fragile?
A: It's not glued — it's set. Each stone is held by how the silver embraces it. Avoid direct pressure on the opal when cleaning and store in a dry case.

Q: Can I buy just one earring?
A: Yes. Email us at hola@artetaxco.mx if you need a single piece or a custom-made pair to order.
