This .950 silver cross is a symbol of protection and faith, worn close to the heart by those seeking spiritual connection with authenticity. The Fire Opal running through its center glows in golden and greenish tones — as if holding the warmth of Taxco's pre-Hispanic silversmithing tradition. At 6 centimeters tall, the pendant is noticeable without being overwhelming, perfect for wearing under clothing or in full view according to your intention. Each stone is set by hand in the workshop, meaning no two crosses are identical.

.950 silver is the purest alloy — 95% pure silver, contrasted with Taxco's official hallmark. This purity makes the metal more malleable and workable, allowing the fine details you see in the edges and stone setting. Hand-setting, without a press, ensures the Fire Opal is secure and that every chisel strike was a deliberate choice by the artisan.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. When you buy a pendant from Arte Taxco, you're not just acquiring a religious piece — you're acquiring the legacy of generations of silversmiths who have guarded this craft in the mountains of Guerrero. The cross with stone inlays is a technique rooted in pre-Hispanic art, reinterpreted by today's masters.
