These earrings combine the elegance of sterling .950 — purer and more resonant than .925 — with the starring role of Fire Opal. Each stone was set by hand, a task that demands patience and skill: the craftsperson holds the stone steady while sterling silver embraces it with precision. No two pairs are identical because each opal is a unique pattern of sky blue light and green reflections. The 5.5 cm length ensures movement and visibility without overwhelming.

Sterling .950 is the material chosen by those who value authentic quality. It carries the hallmark — the seal of authenticity — and shines with a clarity that .925 cannot match. The stone-setting technique visible on the reverse is the hallmark of Taxco craftsmanship: no closed box or industrial press, just the jeweler's hand placing each stone with intention. This is the work that has made Taxco famous for 500 years of silversmithing tradition.

These earrings are for someone who wants to wear fire opal safely and comfortably. They work for daily wear or moments where sky blue needs to shine. The pair arrives secure; no stone loosens with normal movement. And if you ever decide they're not for you, Arte Taxco's Lifetime Buyback Program rebuys your pair at its value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with intense blue, green, and ochre tones. Every stone is different — the flashes never repeat.

Q: Why .950 sterling and not .925?
A: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs 92.5%). It shines brighter, is more hypoallergenic, and ages better. It's the standard in fine jewelry.

Q: Can I wear these earrings daily?
A: Yes, though opal is more delicate than turquoise or onyx. Avoid impact and remove before sleep to extend their life.
