These earrings emerge from the finest tradition of Taxco silversmithing: each fire opal is a window into unique plays of light — red, green, blue, yellow — that dance with every movement. Hand setting, with no press or mechanization, ensures each stone rests secure in its silver cradle. The result is a pair that never repeats: where one gem ends, the character of who chooses it begins.

.950 silver is even purer than .925, a material that breathes with light. It carries the certificate of authenticity and hallmark stamped — your proof it is genuine. Hand stone setting in Taxco is a craft requiring patience: each stone is measured, fitted, secured with the precision of a watchmaker. No industrial shortcut can replicate it.

Taxco is home to 500 years of silversmith mastery. In 1522, when the Spanish discovered silver veins in the mountain, a tradition began that lives today in every workshop. Arte Taxco carries that heritage: earrings that are truly yours, made to the measure you request, with stones you won't find in factory series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal durable for everyday wear?
A: Opal is softer than cubic zirconia or diamond — we recommend these for special occasions or with care. Chlorine and perfume will dull the finish. Keep them dry.

Q: Can I change the length since they're made to order?
A: Yes. When you reach out to place your order, tell us exactly how long you want them — we can adjust between 3 and 5 cm.

Q: What is stone setting in Taxco?
A: An ancient technique where the stone sits in a cavity hand-carved and secured with fine silver wires. It takes hours and a jeweler's eye — that's why every piece is unique.
