These earrings capture the magic of fire opal — that stone that seems to hold light itself. Each of the two spheres carries a lime-green fire opal cabochon set by hand into .950 silver, a superior purity metal that intensifies the glow. At just over 2.8 centimeters, they're compact and weightless enough for all-day wear: elegance without sacrifice.

Hand-set stone inlay means each setting was placed individually, without press or automatic mechanism. In Taxco, where the craft has thrived for 500 years, this technique remains the hallmark of quality. .950 silver is softer than .925, allowing a more precise fit around the stone. Your certificate of authenticity documents both the purity and the Taxco origin.

Arte Taxco draws from five centuries of silversmithing — from Spanish instruction to today's masters and apprentices who still choose silver as their canvas. These earrings are not a reproduction: they are the direct result of that tradition. Handmade in workshop, assembled and polished by hands that know every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Opal is a softer stone compared to diamonds or sapphires. Avoid direct impacts and store in a case. With reasonable care, it will last for years.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower or pool?
A: We don't recommend it. Chlorine and saltwater can damage both the silver and the stone. Wear them for special occasions or daily use in dry climates.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is purer (95% silver vs. 92.5%), softer, and more resistant to oxidation. It's ideal for hand-set stones because it allows a more precise fit.
