These earrings capture the essence of fire opal — that stone that seems to hold the fire of sunset in every facet. The frog, an ancestral symbol of transformation in Mesoamerican cultures, becomes here a carrier of that magical color. Each stone was hand-set in .950 silver, the purest metal worked in Taxco, creating volume and movement in the frog form. When light touches them, the fire opal's multicolor jumps — red, green, gold, blue — in a balance that only platero craftsmanship can achieve.

The .950 silver you'll find here carries its visible hallmark — the guarantee of authenticity that Taxco has sealed into its pieces for over 500 years. The casting process allows organic forms like these to be created, but it is the hand-setting of the stone that makes them truly unique: each fire opal is different, and each placement reflects the artisan's choice. No two pairs are identical.

Taxco is no accident. For five centuries, generations of silversmiths have perfected metalwork and stone in these mountains of Guerrero. Fire opal, with its volatility and beauty, is the dream of anyone who wants jewelry that tells a story — and that story begins in Taxco, where silver and stone find their deepest dialogue.

A: They're crafted on demand in Taxco to guarantee you receive authentic .950 silver with a carefully selected stone. This way we avoid dead stock and ensure quality.

Q: Does the frog have meaning?
