These .950 silver earrings capture the spirit of the civilizations that built Taxco centuries ago. Each piece bears a motif inspired by prehispanic cosmology, with geometric cutouts that play with light. The olive-green fire opal, set by hand in the upper section, glows with tones reminiscent of sacred stones from ancient Mexico — green flashes that seem to hold nature itself within their depths.

Crafted in .950 silver with its authentic hallmark of authenticity, these earrings blend the precision of hand setting with the polished finish that defines Taxco. Each stone is placed individually, without mechanical press, allowing the craftsman to adjust the bezel tension so every opal stays secure without losing a hint of its color. The pair weighs 5.03 grams — substantial enough to feel real, light enough for all-day wear.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silversmithing for 500 years. The Arte Taxco story is the foundation of every piece we create: not merely silver, but the knowledge of generations passed down since the 16th century. The prehispanic motifs you see here are not modern invention, but an honest reinterpretation of symbols that remain alive in Mexican culture — sacred geometry that endures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the stone set by hand?
A: The silversmith manually places the opal in the bezel and adjusts tension with punches, without machinery. This keeps the stone secure without forcing it.

Q: What does the prehispanic motif represent?
A: It's a reinterpretation of sacred geometry from Mesoamerican cultures — symbols of connection with nature and the cosmos that remain meaningful in Mexico today.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: It's softer than quartz. Avoid direct impacts and store in a case. Handle with care, especially during bathing or showering.
