These earrings capture fire opal in its purest form: a drop of .950 silver holding the stone in a geometric setting, no distraction. The green of the opal — that tone playing between jade and emerald — shines with its own light. Each post carries the hallmarks of Taxco's artisan work: the hand-set stone resting secure in its bezel, the polished finish of the silver.

Sterling .950 is even purer than .925 — it is the choice of jewelers seeking maximum quality. The hallmark is the seal of authenticity: proof this silver is genuine. Hand setting means each stone was positioned, measured, and fixed by an artisan; no two are alike.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silver for 500 years. In that tradition is rooted every piece from Arte Taxco — not just the material, but the patience, the craft, and the respect for the stone. When you wear these earrings, you carry the history of five centuries of hands working silver in the mountains of Guerrero.
