At 3.5 centimeters long, it's striking enough to command attention, yet refined enough for everyday wear. The combination of techniques — solid casting, individual stone-setting, hand-polishing — ensures each piece is one-of-a-kind. This pendant is a statement for those who love craftsmanship without compromise.

Authentic .950 sterling with its hallmark engraved, maximum purity. The combined technique allows the Fire Opal to glow from every angle: hand-setting ensures each facet of the stone captures light beautifully. In Taxco, master jewelers understand that a well-set stone can last generations — and that's why this pendant is built to be passed down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. Pendant only. The chain is sold separately so you can customize the length and thickness. We recommend 45–55 cm chains so the pendant falls at heart level.

Q: What is Fire Opal?
A: A variety of opal with iridescent blue and green tones. It's natural and porous — it requires care, but it glows like nothing else. Avoid hot water and ultrasonic cleaners.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 silver is maximum purity (95% pure silver). It's more valuable, more durable, and takes a better shine. This pendant deserves nothing less.
