A cross that shimmers with every movement. The blue Fire Opal floats in .950 silver, reflecting green and golden light that belongs only to mineral — it is the dance of nature against the hand-polished silver. At 7.1 cm long, it sits proportioned on the chest or as a talisman on a keychain or bag. Perfect for someone seeking a symbol of faith with visual presence: this is not discreet; it is a statement.

Hand-set inlay means the Fire Opal was cut and fitted into the silver without machines — each stone requires its own seat. In Taxco, this technique is part of the silversmith's heritage for 500 years, since the city was born as the world capital of artisan silver. .950 silver — even purer than .925 — with its hallmark (seal of authenticity) engraved on the back. Certificate of authenticity included.

Taxco does not simply cast silver: it honors it. Taxco silversmiths inherit techniques from the colonial era and teach them to the next generation. A silver cross from Taxco is not just an object; it is the fruit of 500 years of precision. When you buy from Arte Taxco, you buy living tradition. The Arte Taxco story is the story of this craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. It is sold as a pendant only so you can choose the chain you prefer. We recommend .925 or .950 silver, 45–60 cm long.

Q: What does hand-set inlay mean?
A: It means the Fire Opal was cut and secured in the silver without a press or machines — each stone is placed by hand, individually. It takes hours per piece.

Q: Is Fire Opal fragile?
A: It is a beautiful mineral but more delicate than quartz or amethyst. Avoid impact, do not bend it, and store it in a case. With care, it lasts for years.
