This dolphin pendant captures the essence of movement and freedom. At just 3 centimeters long, it's delicate enough to look elegant at the neck, yet with presence — the blue of the fire opal contrasts beautifully against the burnished silver, creating a depth effect that shifts with the light. Each dolphin emerges differently from the hands of our artisans, because each piece is worked individually.

The stone is set by hand, a process requiring precision and patience. It's not a resin inlay or glued stone: each facet of the opal was positioned with traditional tools to ensure it lasts a lifetime. Fire opal is famous for its iridescent play of colors — in this case, the blue-green tones dominate, evoking the ocean from which the dolphin swims.

Taxco has been the world capital of silvercraft for 500 years. Since the 16th century, when the Spanish discovered silver in the mountains of Guerrero, artisans generation after generation have perfected techniques like stone inlaying. The story of Arte Taxco is part of that tradition: every pendant we create honors the craft of the masters who came before.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, pendant only. We recommend a delicate sterling chain (1.5-2 mm thick) so the dolphin shines without extra weight. We can help you find one.

Q: Is the stone natural?
A: Yes, it's natural fire opal with blue-green tones. Every stone is unique, so colors may vary slightly from the photo. Write us before purchasing if you'd like more details.

Q: Why is it so light for sterling silver?
A: The design is hollow and articulated, making it lightweight and comfortable to wear. The weight (3.1 g) reflects that it's a delicate pendant, not a solid statement piece, but the silver is 100% authentic .925.

Have Sterling You No Longer Wear?

Old silver, heirlooms, or discontinued pendants — we buy them back. Send clear photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll make you a fair offer.
