A pendant that fits in your palm yet holds an entire cosmos. The Aztec sun carved in relief at the center, surrounded by eight rays that emerge like flames — and green fire opal inset in each ray brings that prehispanic light that ancient Tenochtitlan silversmiths would have recognized. Every time you wear it, you carry 500 years of Taxco's silvercraft tradition around your neck.

Authentic sterling silver .925 with its hallmark stamped on the back — proof that this is pure Taxco silver, not an alloy. Fire opal is a living stone: each piece has its own veins of green, orange, and gold. The hand-setting secures each ray, and the casting of the sun's body ensures durability without sacrificing detail. Certificate of authenticity included.

For 500 years, Taxco has been the world capital of artisanal silvercraft. Every pendant that leaves its workshops respects a tradition that began in 1522, when Spanish conquistadors discovered the silver veins of Guerrero's mountains. Today, Arte Taxco honors that heritage with pieces like this: the Arte Taxco story is the story of Mexican silver.

Frequently Asked

Q: Does it come with a chain?
A: No — pendant only. You can add any sterling silver .925 chain; we suggest 45–50 cm so it hangs at chest height.

Q: Is the fire opal natural?
A: Yes, fire opal is natural in green tone. Each stone has its own color veins; tone may vary slightly piece to piece.

Q: What is the combined technique?
A: Casting in a mold (sun body) plus hand-setting the stone in each ray. It's precision work — no machine can replace the silversmith's eye.
