A cross that shines from within. Fire opal is a stone of transformation — its colors shift with every movement and angle. This pendant combines classic hand-setting with relief work on the wings, giving it presence and movement. At 6.2 cm long, this is meant to be seen — not bold, but striking: the size of a large coin, perfect worn close to the heart or as a visible centerpiece.

The silver is authentic .925, marked with Taxco's hallmark. The combined work — relief carving, hand-setting, polishing — takes hours of craftsmanship: each flash of the opal required exact positioning to shine. No two fire opals are alike, so your piece is unique in its greens, purples, and blues.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silverwork for 500 years. Silver crosses are a deep tradition here — not just for faith, but because the craft of transforming metal into symbol runs through the city's veins. This pendant honors that legacy: it is made in Taxco, where silversmithing is living history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — the price is for the pendant alone. Chain sold separately, so you can pick the length and style that works for you.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: Fire opal is more delicate than quartz. Avoid hard impacts, sudden temperature changes, and hot water. Store in a dry case. With care, it lasts for years.

Q: What exactly is the combined technique?
A: The cross frame is created in relief — volume shaped by hand-hammering from the back. The fire opal is then hand-set into its space, positioned so every color shows. Finally, everything is polished and the .925 hallmark is verified.
