This pendant is no ordinary ornament. It is a fragment of mythology that Taxco has carved in silver for 500 years. The dragon—creature of fire and protection—emerges from .950 silver, the purest after platinum. Its twisted body embraces a Fire Opal in sky-blue tones, a stone that seems to hold its own light. The 5-centimeter length makes it look imposing at the neck, without the weight: when you wear it, you feel that something ancient speaks to you.

Hand-set stone incrustration is a craft of precision. Each tiny tooth of the bezel is placed individually, ensuring the stone breathes within its silver frame. No press or machine does this work: it is the patience of a Taxco artisan transforming stone and metal into one. Fire Opal, with its play of blues and greens, is a delicate stone that demands respect—exactly as the legends that Taxco honors do.

Taxco is not just a place. It is five centuries of silvercraft, of masters who taught their children, who taught theirs. Every pendant that leaves there carries that heritage. This dragon specifically belongs to the prehispanic tradition that Taxco rescues: forms that lived before the Conquest, reimagined in modern silver. It is a bridge between two worlds, and you wear it at your neck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
R: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can use any silver chain you already own, or order one separately — write to hola@artetaxco.mx.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
R: .950 is purer, nearly platinum. It is rarer, more valuable, and harder — ideal for pendants worn daily. Your buyback will reflect that purity.

Q: Is Fire Opal fragile?
R: Yes, it is a delicate stone that can scratch if struck. Store with care and avoid direct pressure. Treated well, it will last generations — like every piece made in Taxco.

Do You Have Silver You No Longer Wear?
