This cross pendant in .950 silver is faith made into form. At 5.9 centimeters long, it commands presence without weight. The blue fire opal — hand-set into each of the three teardrop terminals that crown the cross's arms — carries a duality: deep as ocean, bright as flame. It is not inert; it lives, shifts with light, tells a different story each time you wear it.

The cross itself bears a repousse texture along its length, hand-hammered with punches to capture the pulse of tradition. .950 silver — nearly pure, nearly perfect — stamped with its hallmark certifying authenticity. The stone setting is entirely by hand: each opal placed individually, no press, no machine. That is what sets Taxco's craft apart from factory production. Every piece comes with its certificate of authenticity.

Taxco is the heartbeat of world silversmithing for 500 years. Since Spanish miners discovered the deposits nearby, the hands of this town have transformed silver into art — first for crown and church, then for the world. The story of Arte Taxco is the story of those hands, that patience, that obsession with making things right. This pendant is one link in a five-century chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, the 5.9 cm pendant is sold alone. You can purchase a .925 or .950 silver chain separately, or use one you already own. Email hola@artetaxco.mx for chain options.

Q: Is fire opal durable?
A: Fire opal is sensitive to sudden temperature changes. Avoid plunging it from hot to cold, and remove the pendant before showering. With care, it will last a lifetime.

Q: What is the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs 92.5%), making it more resistant to oxidation and more durable. It is preferred for pieces with delicate stones.
