Each earring is a small universe of light. The green fire opal glows from within, with that play of colors only this stone has — greenish, with flashes of yellow and gold that shift with every angle. They are delicate earrings, just the right size to stand out without weighing you down: just over 1.5 cm, perfect on the ear.

Here is where the craftsmanship comes in: each stone was hand-set in .950 silver, no press, no machinery. The Taxco silversmith placed each opal in its bezel, ensuring light would pass through the stone at its best angle. This is the kind of work that takes hours per pair, but guarantees that every stone shines at full potential.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for over 500 years. Every earring you hold today is heir to that tradition: pure silver, living stone, hands that know the craft. It is not quick jewelry — it is a piece that deserved to exist, and deserved to exist in Taxco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal a delicate stone?
A: It is more delicate than quartz or amethyst, but with basic care — avoiding hard impacts, storing separately — it lasts for years. Ours is natural stone, so there may be color variations depending on light.

Q: How does hand-setting work?
A: Without a press or machines. The silversmith uses hand tools to secure the stone in its bezel, making sure it will not fall out and that light passes through perfectly. This is the kind of work that makes every pair unique.

Q: Can I wear these daily?
A: Yes, the post and back closure is secure. Just avoid chlorine and salt water, which can damage the stone. Store them in a dry case when not wearing.
