Each butterfly is a small frame of light. Fire opal in green-lime is not a single stone—it's a mosaic of reflections that capture movement. Taxco silversmiths set each fragment by hand, without machines, without haste. The result: earrings that shine differently depending on how light falls, as if the wings had their own life. For those who see beauty in vibrant details.

.950 sterling silver — even purer than .925, with its hallmark stamped at the base. The hand-set stone technique demands watchmaker's precision: each opal fragment must fit perfectly, with no gaps, no cracks. It's a craft that requires hours of concentration—the difference that justifies the piece.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. Every butterfly that leaves the workshop carries that tradition forward: the Arte Taxco story is the story of silversmiths who chose craft over speed. When you buy these earrings, you invest in that continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal and why does it sparkle like that?
A: Fire opal is a variety that contains aligned micro-crystals. These reflect light at angles that create flashes and color shifts depending on how you move. Each piece is unique.

Q: Is opal fragile?
A: It's more delicate than quartz or jade. Avoid sudden temperature changes, chlorine, and perfumes. Store dry. With normal care, it lasts a lifetime.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs. 92.5%), hypoallergenic, and whiter. For delicate stones like opal, purer silver provides better setting and longer-lasting mountings.
