This pendant captures the heart in its most romantic form. The blue fire opal, set by hand into sterling .950, glows with the intensity only natural stone carries. The filigree bordering the heart — those thin threads of silver braided and soldered with patience — is the signature of Taxco's silver craft. Each piece is unique: no two opals match, no two filigree patterns are identical.

Sterling .950 is the purest silver worked in jewelry today; the master jeweler's hallmark is etched on the back, your guarantee of authenticity. The stone was set by hand, cradled in silver without press or machine. That's why this piece breathes, lives — it's not a repeated mold, but an artisan's decision that took hours to complete.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silvercraft. Since the colonial era, Guerrero's silversmiths perfected techniques only they master today: filigree, hand stone setting, proportion. The Arte Taxco story honors that legacy — every pendant we make respects that tradition without false narratives, with real silver and verifiable craft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. We recommend a 1.5–2 mm figaro or curb link chain to carry the weight comfortably (5.6 g).

Q: Is the opal natural or lab-created?
A: It is natural fire opal; the deep blue is characteristic of authentic fire opal. Each stone varies in color and brilliance — that's what makes it one-of-a-kind.

Q: What does hand stone setting mean?
A: The stone is placed in a silver cup and secured by hand using specialized punches, without a mechanical press. It takes skill and experience — pure craftmanship.
