This pendant tells the story of the moon as a guardian — a symbol that pre-Hispanic peoples revered and that Taxco continues to carve with devotion. The green-yellow fire opal glows like a night gem when you wear it, the size of a Mexican 5-peso coin, distinctive enough that everyone will notice you carry something with soul. The profile face is carved in .950 silver, the purest form, with details that give depth to each feature — alert eyes, sharp nose, the serenity of one looking inward.

Hand stone inlay is an act of patience: each small fragment of opal is placed individually into the cavity designed for it, with no machines, no rushing. The .950 silver with its hallmark ensures that stone will remain secure for generations to come. This is the work of Taxco — not just to shape, but to give permanence.

Taxco has been the world capital of silverwork for 500 years. Since the Spanish discovered the mines in the sixteenth century, our artisans have perfected techniques that the world still cannot match. Every pendant that leaves a workshop here carries that legacy in its hands — the Art Taxco story is the story of honoring that tradition without inventing it. The moon is not fiction; it is the guide that our ancestors venerated, and today we set it in fire opal because we know that the sacred deserves beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. We recommend a 45-55 cm silver chain that you already own or can purchase separately.

Q: Why hand inlay instead of press setting?
A: Taxco inlay places each stone without machines — greater precision and respect for the opal's natural form. It's slower, but it lasts.

Q: How fragile is fire opal?
A: It's natural stone, not glass. Avoid direct impacts and sudden temperature changes. With normal care (store in a case), it will last for generations.
