These earrings embody the artisanal approach of Taxco: each fire opal is placed by hand into its sterling .925 setting, without press or machinery. The lime green refraction is unique to every stone — no two opals are identical, which means every pair of these earrings is unrepeatable. At 2.7 cm long, they strike the perfect balance between subtle and striking: visible from a distance, yet lightweight enough to wear all day without fatigue.

The sterling silver cradling the stone has been polished to amplify the opal's natural brilliance. Though these earrings carry no visible hallmark — such a small space makes marking difficult — authenticity is certified in your certificate of authenticity. The hand-setting work is the guarantee: every grain of stone was placed individually, with no shortcuts.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silverwork. This pair of earrings continues that tradition: real silver, hand assembly, and the backing of the Arte Taxco story. When you choose a piece from Taxco, you choose five centuries of craft condensed into an object you can touch, wear, and pass down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the stone set in these earrings?
A: Each fire opal is placed by hand into its sterling setting, no mechanical press. That's why there's no visible hallmark — the space is too small — but they come with a certificate of authenticity confirming .925 silver.

Q: Is the green color natural to the opal?
A: Yes. Fire opal displays reflections that shift with light. The lime green is a natural result of its crystalline structure — no dyes or treatments.

Q: Can I wear these daily?
A: Yes, though we recommend avoiding direct impacts on the stone and keeping them away from chemicals (perfume, chlorine). They're durable enough for everyday wear with basic care.
