Small in size, mighty in presence. These earrings capture the play of colors in fire opal at the perfect scale for everyday wear. At the size of a lentil, they're the quiet luxury that works from office to dinner. The deep blue of the stone glows against the brilliant silver, creating a shimmer that shifts with the light — just as nature intended opal to be.

Each stone was set by hand, one at a time, without machines or assembly lines. The .950 silver bears its hallmark, proof of purity and authenticity. This level of care is the signature of Taxco's craft — five centuries of goldsmiths perfecting the art of stone-setting, every cut and angle a decision made by a human hand. It's not factory speed; it's workshop precision.

Taxco is Mexico's heart of fine silversmithing. The entire city is an ecosystem of masters: casters, setters, polishers — each trade passed down through generations. When you wear a Taxco earring, you're connected to that lineage of knowledge. Arte Taxco's story began with the commitment to create pieces that honor that legacy.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What is fire opal?
A: A variety of opal with red, orange, yellow, and green fire. Ours is blue — a rarer tone. Each stone is unique; no two are identical.

Q: How do you hand-set such a tiny stone?
A: Our setters use fine punches and magnifiers. Each silver prong is bent over the stone by hand to secure it. It requires the precision of a watchmaker.

Q: Do silver earrings last?
A: Yes. Sterling .950 is extremely durable. With basic care — avoiding chlorine, storing dry — they last decades. And we always buy them back.
