This .950 silver cross pendant is designed for those seeking to connect with the sacred through something tangible. The fire opal set into each section of the design is not just a stone — it is captured light, green and orange flashes that shift with natural light and the intention of the wearer. At 5.3 cm long, it is visible without being ostentatious, perfect for wearing beneath clothing as an amulet or displayed as a statement of faith. The textured finish of the silver gives it depth; each cell of fire in the opal glimmers with its own life.

.950 silver is the purest silver that exists — only 5% other metals. In Taxco, the work of hand-setting is a responsibility: each stone must be secure, each line of silver must flow without tension. The certificate of authenticity that accompanies this pendant guarantees it. The stone inlay technique requires millimeter precision; a stone placed without care falls; one set well shines forever.

Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing for 500 years. Silver crosses carved in precious metal are part of that heritage — objects that venerate, protect, and transcend. The Arte Taxco story is one of craftspeople who honor that legacy. Every pendant we create is an act of continuity.
