Every shift of light ignites a universe of colors — that is fire opal, the stone the ancient Mexica held sacred. In these earrings, the prehispanic pyramid engraved in .950 silver serves as a throne to two hand-set multicolor opals, stone by stone. The play of green, orange, and blue flashes is unique in every pair — no two alike. A statement of love for prehispanic heritage and the craft of Taxco.

.950 silver is the purest that exists (95% fine silver, only 5% alloy), giving these earrings an unrivaled density and brilliance. The hallmark guarantees authenticity. The hand-setting of the opal — each stone placed individually, without press or machine — is the work that multiplies workshop hours: watchmaker precision in jewelry.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver. Here, platería tradition merges ancient techniques with designs that speak to the present. These earrings are a bridge between those worlds: the ancestral symbol and modern setting technology.
