This pendant captures the essence of Taxco jewelry in miniature: a fish that shines with the warmth of pink fire opal, the size of a thumb. The hand-set technique places each facet of the stone, allowing light to travel through its tones of orange, red, and gold. No two opals are alike, and neither are two pendants — each is unique by the stone it carries.

Sterling .950 is the purest silver worked in Taxco, more valuable even than .925. It was chosen by master silversmiths for centuries for pieces of importance. The hallmark guarantees its authenticity. The technique of lost-wax casting, combined with hand-setting, makes every detail of the fish's body — its scales, its tail — a product of hours of craft.

Taxco is the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. This piece is a direct link to that tradition: the Arte Taxco story is the story of families that inherit the art of working silver, generation after generation. A pendant that is not only beautiful, but responds to a craft at risk of extinction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can buy a .925 or .950 silver chain separately, or use one you already have.

Q: Is fire opal fragile?
A: It is sensitive to temperature changes and dehydration. Store your pendant in a cool, dark place, and clean it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid direct heat or sudden cold water.

Q: Why is it more expensive than other pendants?
A: .950 silver is purer and more valuable; fire opal is a natural gemstone; hand-setting is craftwork by a master artisan. Every detail is craft.
