This pendant captivates through color transformation. With every movement, new tones emerge — deep blues yield to greens, then flashes of red and gold. Fire opal is the stone of wonder: nature playing with light, never repeating itself. In Taxco's .950 silver, every facet catches the light with purity.
The hand-set mounting is where the craft lives: each precious stone demands individual adjustment, respect for its fragility, precision in every solder joint. No machine can do this — only hands trained to understand opal across generations. The .950 silver with its Taxco hallmark is your certificate of authenticity.
Taxco has been the heart of handcrafted silverwork in the Americas for five centuries. This pendant flows from that tradition: one that understands a stone is not an accessory, but a witness to light. Discover the story of Arte Taxco and the origin of every piece we make.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. Pendant only. You can add any silver chain you own or choose one separately — this lets you customize the length to your preference.
Q: Is opal fragile?
A: Opal is more delicate than diamond or sapphire. Our hand-set mounting protects it, but we recommend avoiding hard impacts and keeping it away from extreme temperature changes.
Q: Can I request a custom size?
A: Yes. Email hola@artetaxco.mx for a made-to-order pendant — expect ~2 weeks.
