This pendant is born from Taxco's sculptural tradition: a silver body with wings and arms that embrace the fire opal as if it were a treasure. The pink tone of the opal blooms among the silvery tones of the granulation — a technique where microscopic silver spheres are soldered one by one to create tactile and visual texture. Every piece is unique because natural stone never repeats: your opal has its own veins and fire reflections.

Hand-set stone inlay is patient labor: the stone is placed and secured without a press or machine, only with the artisan's touch. Sterling .950 — purer than .925 — is chosen by those seeking hypoallergenic quality and durability. The hallmark .950 is your guarantee of authenticity.

Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silversmithing for 500 years. Every technique — from stone inlay to granulation — is inherited from generations of silversmiths who transform silver into narrative. The Arte Taxco story is the story of that living craft, made piece by piece, in your hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the pendant include a chain?
A: No — it is the pendant only, 4.8 cm. Chain is sold separately. We sell sterling .925 chains in various lengths, or you can use one you already have.

Q: Is the fire opal natural?
A: Yes — it is Mexican fire opal with that pink tone and those green and gold flashes you see in the photos. Each stone is unique because they come from the earth that way.

Q: Does hand-set stone last a long time?
A: Yes — it is secure in .950 silver, well set. Like all natural stone, protect it from hard impacts and avoid exposure to chemicals or extreme heat.
