This pendant captures the essence of the sea in starfish form — a design that evokes freedom and light. The pink fire opal glows with that inner fire only this stone possesses, catching the light in rosy and golden tones. At 4 centimeters long, it's a piece that makes an impression without overwhelming. Crafted in .950 sterling silver — the highest purity in artisanal jewelry — every facet of the star is polished to let the fire of the opal take center stage.

The setting is completely handmade — each silver point is bent and adjusted around the stone, a process requiring precision and patience. It's not mass-cast jewelry; it's artisanal joymaking, where stone and metal respect each other. Stone inlay in Taxco is an art that takes hours per piece, because each fire opal is unique and demands its own fitting.

Taxco has been the world's capital of artisanal silver for 500 years — since colonial times to today, every piece from craftspeople like ours carries that heritage of skill. The Arte Taxco story is the story of artisans who chose quality and honesty over quantity. This pendant is part of that tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, the price is for the pendant only. We recommend a .925 silver chain, 45–50 cm, to wear this starfish at the neck. We're happy to help you choose: hola@artetaxco.mx

Q: Is the fire opal natural?
A: Yes, it's treated natural fire opal. The fire and colors are real. Opal is more delicate than other stones — avoid sudden temperature changes.

Q: How is the stone set?
A: Completely by hand. Taxco silversmiths bend each silver point around the stone — a process that cannot be mechanized. That's what you see in the metal's facets.

Do you have silver you don't wear anymore?

Old silver, inherited pieces, or jewelry you've outgrown — we buy it back. Send photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll quote you on the spot.
