This pendant bridges two worlds: the sacred geometry of the Aztec Calendar and the cross — symbols of spiritual depth that transcend borders. Fire Opal, with its multicolor flashes that shift in the light, is the stone of transformation and protection. Every time you wear it, you carry 500 years of Taxco silversmithing and a message of faith with you.

Sterling .950, purer than .925, gives it a unique brilliance and resonance. The work is combined: the base form comes from casting in mold (precision of detail), and the opal is hand-set (each stone placed individually). The hallmark guarantees authenticity — your proof that this silver is genuine.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. It's no accident: the Arte Taxco story is that each piece honors prehispanic heritage and the mastery of the craft. This pendant is an example — it unites ancestral iconography with modern Taxco technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No, pendant only. We recommend choosing a chain with similar thickness (3-4 mm) so it looks balanced. Write us if you'd like recommendations.

Q: What does "combined" technique mean?
A: The base form comes from casting (lost-wax mold — precision of details), then the opal is hand-set without machines. This combines efficiency of form with the artistry of stone setting.

Q: Is Fire Opal durable?
A: It's a delicate stone. Avoid hard impacts, chlorine, and saltwater. With care, it lasts decades. Its multicolor beauty is worth protecting.
