Small but unmistakably present. These earrings capture fire opal's magic — that stone that plays between greens and gold when light touches it. The turtle, a Prehispanic symbol of protection and patience, becomes your pocket-sized amulet. At 1.6 cm long, they're perfect for jewelry that speaks without shouting, that's noticed only when it matters.

.950 silver — purer than .925 — gives body without losing delicacy. Each stone was hand-set in Taxco's workshops, where stone-setting requires surgeon's steadiness and goldsmith's patience. Fire opal, being natural stone, shifts in tone within the lime-green spectrum — no two pairs are identical.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silverwork for 500 years. This tradition is not nostalgia — it's living craft. When you wear Arte Taxco earrings, you carry that legacy woven in pure silver, piece by piece, hand by hand.

And if you ever decide you don't wear them anymore, we buy them back up to 35% — no expiration, no fine print. Your silver always has value.
