These earrings capture the contained fire of opal at its finest — that lime green that seems to emit its own light. At 3.7 cm long, they have just the right presence: impossible to miss, yet never overwhelming. Opal is a living stone, with movement and brilliance that shift with the light, making every pair unique. Sterling .950, purer than .925, frames the stone with solid elegance, and hand setting ensures each facet is placed with precision.

Every fire opal originates from mineral deposits where nature spent millions of years layering silica with those shifting color plays. The hand stone setting technique we use here is a craft requiring patience — the jeweler measures, cuts the bezel to the stone's exact dimensions, and secures it without the mechanical pressure that could damage it. Taxco sterling .950 with its certified hallmark is a guarantee of authenticity and durability.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Every piece from our workshops honors that tradition — it is not merely a product, but the result of generations of mastery. The Arte Taxco story is the story of this technique passed down, refined, and guarded. Your pair of earrings is part of that continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal natural?
A: Yes. It is common opal (hydrated silica) that displays that characteristic play of green and yellow fire. It is not synthetic or treated, though like any natural stone, it has color variations between pairs.

Q: What care does opal need?
A: Avoid perfume, chlorine, and chlorinated water. Opal does not love excessive moisture. Store earrings in a dry case and clean with a soft microfiber cloth. If you notice the stone moving, email hola@artetaxco.mx before wearing again.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: Sterling .950 is purer and more durable for delicate stone settings. Plus, purer silver never darkens as much as .925 — it keeps its shine with less effort.
