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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years.
