This silver dragonfly is a visual journey: each wing holds fire opal in its oranges, reds, and greens, as if capturing the light of a sunset. At 4.5 cm long, it reads generous against the chest without overwhelming — the perfect size for the stone to shine. The segmented sterling body adds dimension and movement, an effect only hand-setting achieves, where each curve of metal embraces the stone without machinery in between. It's the kind of pendant that stops conversations: people ask what it is, and you explain it's natural fire opal, that each one is unique, that it comes from Taxco.

.950 sterling is purer than standard silver (.925) — 5% more pure silver, meaning softer metal, more noble, longer-lasting over time. The .950 hallmark certifies it. The hand-setting, visible in every curve of metal around the opal, is the signature of Taxco craftsmanship: no two dragonflies are exactly alike because each was placed by hand, with intention and care. Natural opal means you'll see color variation from one to another — that variation is your proof of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of silver for 500 years — since Spanish conquistadors found silver in the mountains of Guerrero in the 16th century. That lineage of craft lives in every Arte Taxco piece: it's not just silver, it's the memory of generations of master jewelers who chose precision over speed, polish over neglect. The dragonfly you hold was designed, molded, polished, and hand-set in Taxco, under that same sky that has witnessed 500 years of silver transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only (4.5 cm). Chain is separate — use your own or contact us for length and gauge recommendations.

Q: Is the fire opal natural?
A: Yes. Fire opal is natural stone, which means each pendant will have unique color variation — that variation guarantees it's natural, not synthetic.

Q: Is the setting secure?
A: Completely. Hand-setting in .950 silver is more secure than many machines because the artisan feels the pressure and adjusts. If you ever notice the stone moving, contact us and we'll repair it.

Do you have silver you no longer wear?

Inherited, old, broken — we buy it back. Send photos to hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll give you a quote in store credit or cash.
