This pendant merges two worlds: the cross as a symbol of Christian faith, and the Aztec Calendar on its reverse honoring Taxco's prehispanic roots. The Fire Opal, with its deep blue and verdant glow, captures light like no other stone — every angle reveals new shades. The stone is hand-set individually, held in place by the artisan's skill without machinery or presses.

Crafted in .950 silver, this piece is even purer than standard .925 — it responds better to polishing and glows with greater presence. The hallmark is certified: your guarantee of authenticity. The cross and Calendar are not ornament — they are narrative: the faith connecting generations, the history Taxco carries in every gram of silver.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Every pendant from its workshops is the result of inherited knowledge: how to cast without losing purity, how to work the metal without weakening it, how to set a delicate stone so it lasts a lifetime. This pendant exemplifies that craft — and an investment your silver always backs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No, the price is for the pendant only. Chain is sold separately. We recommend 45–60 cm silver chains for proper drape. Contact hola@artetaxco.mx and we'll guide you.

Q: Is Fire Opal durable?
A: Opal is more delicate than other gemstones. Avoid direct impacts, chlorine, and perfumes. With proper care and storage, it will last for years. If you notice changes in shine, reach out to us.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 is purer, offering greater durability and deeper luster. In Taxco, .950 is a mark of mastery — pieces meant to be inherited.
