This starfish is a reminder of the ocean, captured in pure silver. Each ray is crafted with precision, and at its center glows a multicolor fire opal — that rare mineral that dances with oranges, reds, and greens, like a sunset on the water. At 4.4 cm long, it's a piece that stands out without being loud, perfect for anyone who loves the sea or seeks a symbol of freedom.

Setting the fire opal is individual handiwork: each stone is placed and secured by hand in silver, with no press or machine. It's a technique that demands patience and a careful eye — the artisan must ensure the stone fits perfectly without pressure that could fracture it. The .950 silver is even purer than .925, reinforcing the authenticity of the piece.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the heart of the world's silversmithing. Generations of artisans have perfected the craft — from delicate stone setting to the final polish you see in this starfish. The Art Taxco story is the story of that tradition, alive today in every pendant.
