These earrings capture the essence of fire opal: a deep blue that plays with light and shifts with every movement. Each stone is unique, with its own veins and reflections. The hand-set mounting in sterling .925 holds the gem with precision, letting it shine without obstruction — the work of a silversmith who knows every facet of the craft.

The silver bears the hallmark of authenticity, proof that it contains .925 parts pure silver per thousand. The size, 2 cm, is perfectly delicate yet present — visible enough for the stone to be the star, without overwhelming. The closure is comfortable and secure: silver hooks that don't tarnish.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing. These earrings inherit that tradition: not mass production, but a balance of design and craft. The hand-set stone means no two earrings are identical — that's the value of work done with care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A variety of opal with a deep blue brilliance and light reflections that shift as you move. Each stone is one-of-a-kind, with unique color patterns and fire.

Q: Is hand-set mounting more durable?
A: Hand-setting allows the stone to move slightly, which reduces the risk of breakage from sudden pressure. It's the classic technique of Taxco silversmithing.
