These earrings condense the magic of fire opal into a size that rests delicately on your ear. Each stone, cut and polished, reveals the deep greens and brilliant verdant flashes that define fire opal — a mineral that seems to hold light inside. The .950 silver, the highest purity we work with in Taxco, cradles each stone in a hand-set bezel that lets the opal breathe: you see the entire stone, not just its crown. Perfect for anyone seeking intense color without weight.

Stone-setting in Taxco is a precision craft: each earring is inspected individually so the bezel holds the stone without pressure. .950 silver is softer than .925, giving the artisan more flexibility to adapt the metal to the stone's natural contours — a process that takes hours and reveals itself only when the piece is complete. Your certificate of authenticity guarantees that purity is genuine.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silversmithing. Here, each generation learns to see metal not as inert material, but as a partner that adapts to stone, design, and intention. The fire opal in these earrings was chosen, cut, and set by hands steeped in that tradition. Discover the story of Arte Taxco and why origin matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the green fire opal natural?
A: Yes. It's a mineral with bands of greenish-yellow color and natural flashes. It's neither synthetic nor dyed — what you see is its genuine mineral structure.

Q: What closure system do they have?
A: A secure pressure back that holds the earring comfortably without needing a screw. Easy to use and remove.

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: Because this piece deserves it. .950 is softer and allows for more precise hand-setting, adapting better to the stone's natural shape. The cost is higher, but the quality of the result is superior.
