Fire Opal: the stone of the ancients. Its luminous green echoes the forests of Guerrero and the wisdom of pre-Hispanic cultures. This pendant combines the coin — symbol of the civilizations that shaped Mexico — with a stone that glows from within. Each pendant is unique: the tones and veins of Fire Opal vary naturally, like life itself.

Hand-set in sterling .925 silver. The polished silver frames the stone with precision, honoring every detail. The coin in deep relief tells Taxco's story: five centuries as the world capital of artisanal silver. This is not just a pendant — it is the craft of generations, in your hands.

Taxco is the city that invented modern silver jewelry in Mexico. Since 1522, Taxco's silversmiths have mastered techniques that took other cities centuries to learn. This pendant is born from that lineage: combined by hand, with the precision only Taxco's craft guarantees. When you wear it, you wear 500 years of tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. This is the pendant alone. We recommend threading it on a .925 silver chain, 45–60 cm. Contact us if you'd like a custom length.

Q: Is Fire Opal fragile?
A: Fire Opal is more delicate than quartz. Avoid impact, chlorine, and prolonged soaking. Care for it as the living stone it is — it will age beautifully on your pendant.

Q: What is combined technique?
A: The coin is cast in solid silver, then the Fire Opal is hand-set into its bezel. Each step is manual — no two pendants are identical.
