Pair of triplet opal drop earrings in sterling silver, each with a 9mm x 7mm oval opal in an open diamond-shaped frame. Every opal is hand-selected, so colours and pattern will differ from the photo.
These drop earrings are sold as a pair and feature an oval triplet opal in each, set within an open, diamond-shaped sterling silver frame. The stones are 9mm x 7mm. The polished silver outline wraps around each opal and gives the design a light, modern look.
A triplet opal is made from a thin slice of natural opal, backed with a dark base layer and capped with a clear layer of quartz or glass. The cap protects the opal and gives the stone a domed, glossy surface. Triplets are known for vivid play of colour, with flashes that shift as the light moves across the stone. They are not solid opal.
Each opal is hand-selected and unique, so the colours and pattern of the stones you receive will differ from those in the photo. The design of the earrings stays the same.
Each earring hangs from a slim straight bar that is joined to a small round ball stud fitting at the top. Together they create an elegant, elongated drop. These earrings come from Umoona Opal Mine & Museum in Coober Pedy, South Australia.
