A pendant that shines like sunset over the sea. At just 4 centimeters long, the fire opal hand-set in .950 silver creates a warm light effect with every movement. The stone, semitransparent and radiant, seems to hold an inner flame — hence the name. This is a pendant for those who love details others miss, but feel against the skin: light, delicate, powerful.

Crafted in .950 sterling silver — 95% pure, more refined than standard .925. Each stone is hand-set individually in Taxco, without machines. The process takes hours: the silversmith studies each opal, finds the best angle of light, and secures it with precision. You can see it in the finish: no two pendants are identical. It carries the .950 hallmark, Taxco's five-century signature of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisan silver for 500 years. Here, stone setting is a dialogue between craftsman and raw material — not a production line. Every fire opal you see was chosen, studied, and set by hand in workshop. The Arte Taxco story begins with artisans like those who made this pendant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can purchase a silver chain separately — choose the length and thickness that work best for you. Email hola@artetaxco.mx if you need recommendations.

Q: What is hand-set stone inlay?
A: Each stone is set individually by a silversmith, without machine presses. The process demands precision: the craftsman uses small punches and hammers to secure the stone, ensuring it never loosens. That's why every piece is unique.

Q: What's the difference between .950 and .925 silver?
A: .950 is 95% pure silver versus 92.5% in .925. It's softer, more resistant to oxidation, and has historically been the luxury standard in Taxco. This pendant is a step higher in refinement.
