14K Yellow Gold Australian Opal & Sapphire Earrings

Magical Australian opals and rich blue sapphires form flowers of everlasting beauty

The opal is the only stone that can show every color of the rainbow. Since the first recorded discovery of precious opal in the 1840s, its fabulous play-of-color has enchanted people all over the world. And of all the opals in the world the most precious come from Australia, and specifically the town of Lightening Ridge in New South Wales. The value of solid opals has been steadily increasing for many years— with the increasing scarcity of gem-quality opals, it may soon become the most sought-after and precious of all gems. These pieces truly showcase the extraordinary beauty of this sought-after gem in a charming flower motif. Generous cabochons of Australian opals are framed by gems equally as sensational— blue sapphires. We then set all the splendor in gleaming 14K yellow gold, bringing radiant to a new level. By owning an opal you pay homage to the power and exuberance of beauty and nature. It’s a testament to your appreciation for the rare and exquisite and is destined to become a precious heirloom treasured for years to come.
