A five-centimeter cross that catches the light of Taxco's fire opals. Each stone, hand-set in .950 silver, shines with sky-blue tones and green flashes — that color-play is the signature of genuine opal. It's a piece that speaks: religious and beautiful, weightless, made to be worn over the heart or gifted with meaning.

.950 silver is the highest purity produced in Taxco. It carries the 950 hallmark engraved — proof of authenticity recognized in any silversmith shop in the world. The hand-setting of each stone is an act of precision: the Taxco craftsperson places every opal in its silver bed, securing it without mechanical press, respecting the stone's natural color and form.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. Since the discovery of silver mines in Guerrero, the city's silversmiths developed techniques still referenced today. The Arte Taxco story is part of that tradition: every cross we make honors why Taxco remains the place where silver is born with soul.

Q: Is the fire opal authentic?
A: Yes. It comes with an authenticity certificate. The color-play (blue to green) is the natural hallmark of genuine fire opal. Each piece varies slightly — that's part of its value.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is 95% pure silver (vs. 92.5% in .925), brighter and more durable. It's the purity Taxco treasures. Both are authentic — .950 is the premium choice.
