Earrings that capture fire opal's signature play of light in motion. Each stone flashes lime-green with natural iridescence when light hits it — an effect only fire opal delivers. The starfish shape echoes the ocean, fluidity, the freedom of the sea. At 4 cm, they command attention without overwhelming: marine elegance in perfect proportion.

Sterling .950 — a higher purity that underscores the rarity of the piece. Each fire opal is set by hand, no machinery, no press. The Taxco artisan positions and secures every stone individually, ensuring its natural radiance shines exactly right. The bezel features granulation (tiny spheres of silver soldered around the edge) that adds texture and depth, as if coral branches were cradling the stone.

Taxco: home to luxury silversmithing for 500 years. Every earring is born in the workshops of Mexico's Silver City, where craft passes hand to hand, generation to generation. The Arte Taxco story is the story of these hands—polishing, setting, perfecting every detail. When you wear these earrings, you wear five centuries of silver tradition.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is fire opal durable for everyday wear?
R: Fire opal is a delicate mineral (5.5–6.5 on Mohs scale). Avoid direct impact, chlorine, and saltwater. With normal care, your earrings last for years.

Q: What does "hand-set" mean?
R: It means each stone is placed without a machine press — the artisan positions and secures it with precision. It's safer and lets the setting adapt to each unique stone.

Q: Can I wear them daily?
R: Yes, but fire opal prefers special occasions or moderate wear. These are jewels that deserve loving care, not intense sport.
