With its open pincers and arched tail, it captures the predatory essence of the creature in a composition that balances detail and presence. The green fire opal — with emerald tones that play with golden reflections — rests on the scorpion's back, hand-set in bezel. The combined Taxco technique unites precise open work (where the jeweler removes silver by hand-saw, no machines) and manual stone setting, creating a pendant that is not merely jewelry, but a work of craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthentic sterling .925 silver with \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/certificado-autenticidad-joyas-plata-925\"\u003ecertificate of authenticity\u003c\/a\u003e.
