This sterling .950 silver cross is an intimate symbol of faith — 4.6 centimeters long, perfect to wear beneath your shirt or proudly visible. The fire opal in deep blue tone is set by hand into each of the five points of the design, capturing light with a glow that speaks to both devotion and nature. Every stone is placed individually, without presses or automation, making each cross unique.

.950 silver is the purest used in jewelry — only 5% alloy versus 7.5% in .925. In Taxco, where silver tradition spans 500 years, .950 marks pieces of greatest significance. Hand-setting is the guarantee: the stone will not fall, and if it ever needs re-setting, our Taxco team can restore it.

This is a religious cross crafted in the heart of the world capital of artisan silversmithing. Arte Taxco exists to preserve that craft — generations of silversmiths who master techniques taught only hand-to-hand in workshops, not schools. Every stone set here is an individual choice by the artisan.
