A cross that glows with the deep blue of fire opal — the stone of illusion and transformation. In .950 sterling, the purest silver worked by Taxco's master silversmiths, each opal is placed by hand into its bezel. At 5.1 cm long, it's perfectly scaled to be seen without overwhelming — the right size for someone who wants presence, not noise.

Hand-set craftsmanship is what separates true jewelry from mass production: each stone is secured individually, the silver shaped to the opal's natural contours. No industrial press here — just the time and skill of an artisan's hands. .950 is the silver of masters, softer than .925 but more durable than you'd think, because the technique backs it up.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silverwork. Crosses run deep in the silver tradition of Guerrero — heritage of faith and mastery. The Arte Taxco story begins with that obsession for pure silver and true form. This cross carries it in every curve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No — pendant only. You can use your own chain or ask us for a sterling one.

Q: What makes hand-set stones different?
A: Each opal is placed individually without a press — the silver shapes itself to the stone's natural contour, ensuring it stays secure and catches light from every angle.

Q: Is .950 more fragile than .925?
A: No. Both are true silver. .950 is softer but purer; with solid hand-setting technique, it lasts as long or longer.
