This pendant captures the magic of fire opal — those flashes of red, green, and blue that appear as the stone moves in the light. The three-tiered design in .950 silver frames the opal like a miniature altar, and the hand-set mounting ensures every facet glows. It's crafted for anyone who loves living stones, ones that dance with every step.
Sterling .950 is purer than standard .925 — the Taxco hallmark certifies it. Each level of this pendant was polished with precision and the stone individually set, without press or machine. It's the craft of a Taxco jeweler condensed into 4.5 centimeters.
Taxco has been the world capital of handcrafted silver for 500 years. In every Arte Taxco piece lives that tradition — the patience of the craft, respect for the stone, honesty in the metal. This pendant is one more link in the chain of mastery that connects generations of silversmiths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. Use a chain you already own or purchase one separately — email hola@artetaxco.mx for recommendations on length and thickness.
Q: Why .950 instead of .925?
A: Sterling .950 is purer silver (95% vs 92.5%). It's ideal for delicate stones like opal, which deserve the backing of a nobler alloy. The Taxco hallmark certifies it.
Q: How do I care for fire opal?
A: Opal is fragile. Avoid impacts, extreme heat, and very hot water. Store in a dry, dark case — light and moisture can fade its brilliance. Clean with a soft cloth only, never a brush.
