This religious cross is born in the workshops of Taxco with .950 silver — the purest silver exists — and each fire opal is placed by hand into its setting, stone by stone. The multicolor of the gem creates a play of light that evokes sacred fire, transforming a spiritual symbol into a jewel that speaks without words. The light weight (3.6 grams) makes it perfect for daily wear without straining your neck.

The hand-set stone inlay is an art requiring watchmaker precision: each contact point between silver and opal is soldered individually, with no machinery. The .950 silver with its stamped hallmark guarantees authenticity — it's the mark of Taxco for 500 years. Your certificate of authenticity backs it.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silver, a craft born in the 16th century and still alive in every cross, every setting, every drop of sweat from silversmiths. This piece is a witness to that tradition: it's not industrial, not mass-made — it's Taxco in your hands. Discover the story of Arte Taxco and its 500 years of silversmithing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The pendant is sold alone. You can choose a chain from us or use one you already have — any silver or silver-plated chain will work with the cross's clasp.

Q: Can the fire opal scratch?
A: Fire opal is a delicate precious stone. Avoid direct impacts and don't soak it in water; clean with a dry cloth. With care it will last for years.

Q: Why .950 silver and not .925?
A: .950 is purer — a higher percentage of silver — and more hypoallergenic. It's characteristic of religious pieces from Taxco, where quality is non-negotiable.
