This marlin is motion frozen in silver. The combined technique allows the casting to capture every detail of the muscular body, from textured scales to the raised dorsal fin — while blue fire opal shines diagonally across, as if the fish rides the light. At 3.6 centimeters per side, it's a piece of serene but unmistakable presence: it doesn't fade away, but it doesn't dominate your chest either. Ideal for ocean lovers, seekers of freedom symbols, or anyone needing a daily reminder of flowing strength.

Taxco's .950 sterling guarantees authenticity with its hallmark — a control mark certifying purity. Here, the higher amount of pure silver reinforces durability of the setting and the fire opal's radiance. Combined technique unites the best of casting (precision of form) with hand finishing (texture, character). Each marlin carries the depth of 500 years of Taxco silversmithing — the craft that transformed a mining town into the world's capital of artisanal silver jewelry.

This is the pendant only; chain sold separately. This frees you to choose exactly what you want: a thick, masculine link, a fine and minimal chain, or even thread it on cord. Your style, your measure, your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. This gives you freedom to choose your link or chain to match your taste — a major advantage over pendants sold with a fixed chain.

Q: What is fire opal?
A: It's volcanic opal, with play-of-color in greens, blues, and oranges. Each stone is unique — requires care with perfumes and salt water, but the effect is incomparable.

Q: Can I wear this pendant on a chain I already own?
A: Yes. It measures 3.6 × 3.6 cm. If you have a chain or link with a bail of 8–10 mm, it fits perfectly. Email hola@artetaxco.mx if you need guidance.
