This star pendant measures just 4.3 cm—barely taller than a coin standing upright—yet the fire opal at its center makes it impossible to ignore. The orange and red fire of the opal contrasts with polished .950 silver, creating a piece that works equally well on a delicate chain or threaded through a bracelet. Small but powerful: the jewelry that says "I have taste without needing volume."

Stone setting in Taxco is a craft where each opal is placed and secured by hand, without press or machinery. The visible setting is part of the design—you see the work. The .950 silver (purer than .925), hardened in the workshop and every detail finished. The small granules around the stone are not random: they are deliberate, the mark of the hand that soldered them one by one. No two pendants are identical because each is assembled fresh.

Taxco has been the heart of Mexican silversmithing for 500 years. When you hold this star, you hold five centuries of tradition: the same craft your ancestors may have admired in city markets, now in your hand. The Arte Taxco story is about keeping that art alive, in pure silver, without shortcuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, pendant only. This gives you freedom to choose a chain—delicate, chunky, short, or long—to match your style and neck. Email hola@artetaxco.mx for sterling chain recommendations.

Q: What is hand stone setting?
A: Each opal is placed and secured in its bezel manually, without pressure machines. This allows flexibility and lets us adjust each stone; it is slower but more careful.

Q: Is fire opal delicate?
A: Opal is sensitive to excess water and direct impacts. Wear gently, avoid saunas and swimming pools, and store dry. With normal care, it will last for years.
