The best way to revive gemstone jewelry is simple—a bowl of water with a few drops of mild dish detergent. Soak* your gemstone jewelry in warm, soapy water and then use a Q-tip or soft toothbrush to gently scrub behind the stone where dust and dirt can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth. *Soft, porous gemstones—pearl, coral, turquoise, howlite, or amber—should never be soaked. Simply wipe these down with a clean, wet cloth. Keep in mind that Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning that they absorb water. When this happens, they may lose their color and appear more yellow or translucent—but don't be alarmed! This is only temporary as their color-play returns after air-drying. Always allow to air-dry, *never* apply heat!

Materials: Australian Crystal Opal, 14k Gold
Location: Cartilage, Earlobe
Style: Minimalist

Opals have been romanticized throughout history, often because of the way that their colors play or "dance" in the light. Writers have compared them to volcanoes, galaxies, and fireworks. Admirers have given extraordinary opals poetic names like Pandora, Light of the World, and Empress. In ancient Rome, these precious gemstones symbolized love and hope. Today, October's birthstone is synonymous with good luck — something one can never have too much of — and as a symbol of hope, purity, and truth.

Jewelry holds great significance for the wearer with each piece maintaining its own allure.

I hope you can find yours within these stunning 6mm (~.90 total cts) Australian crystal opals set in 14k gold.

Open settings allow these beautiful stones to sparkle, putting their magic on full display. The color-play that is experienced when these genuine Australian opals are exposed to natural light is truly something to behold!

These are *real* Australian crystal opals — not doublets or triplets.

Please keep in mind that all stones in our collection are natural and therefore vary in color from each other. We guarantee the best selection and composition of colors available; however, we cannot guarantee *exact* replicas of the stones photographed.

* This item is made-to-order and requires 1 - 2 weeks processing time.

I had a unique color opal necklace I had been trying to “match” forever. I had to return so many earrings for not flattering the pendent. Discussed with Johanna, at length, and I love my new opal earrings. She matched the blue hue exactly in the undertone and they look like a set. Awesome creative eye and special studs. Thanks Johanna for all the care and love you put into creating these beautiful studs. You’re extremely talented.
