This dolphin pendant captures the movement and grace of one of the sea's freest creatures. The form opens as if leaping from the water, and inside gleams a fire opal — multicolor, with flashes of red, orange, and green that shift in light. Every reflection is one-of-a-kind: no two opals are identical. The hand-set stone is precision work, where the jeweler adapts the silver around each facet. At 4.7 cm long, it's a generous size for a pendant — visible from afar, yet understated.

The .950 silver from Taxco bears the hallmark of authenticity (950), proof of its purity. It's an even purer alloy than standard .925, ideal for those who seek the finest. Fire opal is a delicate, living stone, demanding care but rewarding you with beauty. In Taxco, goldsmiths have spent 500 years perfecting the setting of fragile gems — this piece inherits that legacy.

Taxco is not just a place; it is the heart of Mexico's artisanal silver craft. For five centuries, generations of silversmiths have carved, set, and polished. When you buy a pendant from Arte Taxco, you buy the craft, the history, and the certainty that every gesture came from a trained hand. Learn the Arte Taxco story.
