A frog in silver — the timeless symbol of transformation, fertility, and the luck that leaps from Mexican pre-Hispanic tradition into modern necklaces. This pendant captures the suspended motion of a frog with a rounded body cradling a fire opal that glows multicolor — those reds, oranges, and greens dancing across the stone like captured mineral fire from Taxco. At 2.6 cm long, it is visible enough to notice, yet discreet enough for everyday wear. Each leg is articulated with precision, eyes alert in polished silver — a pendant that comes alive when it moves.

Crafted in .950 silver — even purer than .925 — with the hallmark that certifies its authenticity. The fire opal is set by hand, placed in its silver bezel without press or machinery. Fire opal is a living stone — its reflections shift with the angle of light, with the movement of whoever wears it. That is why this piece is unique: no two opals glow exactly alike.

Taxco has shaped symbols in silver for 500 years. The frog is no modern invention — it appears in Mexican pre-Hispanic iconography as guardian of water, symbol of change and renewal. When you wear this pendant, you wear that continuity: the craft of artisans who inherit their technique from grandfathers of silver, the precision of hands that know how to cut and polish silver without machines doing the work. The Arte Taxco story is in every detail of this frog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does it include a chain?
A: No. The price is for the pendant only. You can choose your preferred chain — classic snake, strong link, or cord. Email us at hola@artetaxco.mx for sizing recommendations.

Q: What makes fire opal special?
A: It is a semi-precious stone with fire reflections — reds, oranges, greens — that dance under light. Unlike diamond, fire opal is alive and shifts with the angle. It is softer, so it requires care, but its beauty is incomparable.

Q: Why .950 silver instead of .925?
A: .950 silver is purer — 95% pure silver vs. 92.5% in .925. It is ideal for jewelry with delicate stones because purer silver is more stable in hand-set bezels.
