This whale pendant captures the marine spirit in pure silver. The blue fire opal, hand-set into the body of the cetacean, glows with deep tones that shift with the light — each glance reveals a new color. At 3.9 cm long, it's visible without being loud: the perfect size to wear on any chain you choose. It's a unisex piece, like the ocean it represents.

The .925 sterling silver is certified with the Mexican hallmark — your guarantee that what you wear is real silver from Taxco. The lost-wax casting technique allows for detail in every fin and eye, while the stone setting is done entirely by hand — each point where silver meets opal is placed by an artisan.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Since the Spanish discovered the silver mines in the region, the silversmith's craft became the identity of a people. This pendant carries that inheritance: it is the result of knowledge passed down through generations, from chisel to heart. Learn the story of Arte Taxco and why origin matters.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can purchase any chain you like separately — we recommend 45–50 cm so the pendant rests at chest height.

Q: What is the hallmark?
A: It's the Mexican certification mark for .925 silver. It guarantees that the piece is real silver and made in Taxco.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is a softer stone. The pendant is designed for safe daily wear, but avoid direct impact. Store in a case when not wearing and clean with a soft cloth.
