This pendant captures the essence of fire opal in its deepest shade: blue with flashes that shift in the light. At just 4.3 cm long, it's subtle enough for daily wear yet striking enough to be your signature piece. Hand-set inlay means each facet of the stone breathes — no glues or resins, only pure silver and stone.
The .950 sterling silver in this pendant is the standard of fine jewelry — even purer than .925. With its .950 hallmark engraved, you carry the promise of authenticity that defines the Arte Taxco story, 500 years of master silversmithing in Guerrero. Hand-set stone inlay is a craft that demands precision: each gem is placed individually, no machinery, ensuring it never loosens.
The pendant comes without a chain — so you choose the width and length that feels right on you. Pair it with a delicate 45 cm chain for a subtle look, or longer if you prefer it resting lower on your chest. Sterling .950 shines with intensity on its own; the opal does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No, pendant only. This way you choose the chain that matches your style and neckline best. We carry sterling .925 and .950 options in several lengths.
Q: How delicate is fire opal?
A: Opal is more sensitive than some stones — avoid hard impacts, perfumes, and salt water. With normal care it will last for years. If you have concerns, email us before purchasing.
Q: Why is a hand-set pendant more expensive than a ring of the same weight?
A: Hand-setting each stone is a process that takes hours. Every gem is placed individually and secured so it never comes loose — no machine can replicate that craftsmanship.
