A pendant that breathes light. The blue fire opal — with its green veins and impossible reflections — is set in .950 silver through a hand-setting technique that fixes the stone with precision. At 4.5 centimeters long, it's discreet at the chest but present enough for anyone who sees it to know you're wearing something special. Every fire opal is unique: no two share the same tones or color play.
.950 silver is the purest silver that Taxco works with — beyond the standard .925. The setting is done by hand, stone by stone, without machinery. The certificate of authenticity backs the purity and origin. This pendant is assembled in Taxco and bears the .950 hallmark, your guarantee that it's true silver.
Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silver for 500 years. Every piece of Arte Taxco inherits that tradition: it is not just an object, it is the result of generations of silversmithing. The pendant you hold today breathes that craft passed from master to apprentice, hand to hand. When you wear it, you carry Taxco with you — history, precision, and the human touch no machine can replicate.

A: A variety of opal with warm tones and blue or green flashes. Each piece is unique — no two fire opals are alike. It is a fragile mineral, so avoid direct impact.
