Amazing, super long opal earrings. Bright purple-blue opals with pink fire with long silver frame decorated with granulated sterling silver bead design, handmade, circa 1990s. These are a great large statement earring that's still light and easy to wear. These are handmade so there are very slight variations in the design - one is slightly longer than the other.

Spectacular vintage condition!! Shows mild wear commensurate with age, no dings or chips, will come with some patina, as level of polish is a matter of taste. These are handmade so there are very slight variations in the design - one is slightly longer than the other.

About this Piece
Sterling Silver
Sterling is an alloy of silver containing at least 92.5% pure silver (925 parts of 1000 thus the 925 stamp), the remainder is made up of a mix of metals (most commonly copper) used to make the metal workable. Pure silver is generally considered too soft to work with, although you can find silver jewellery at 950 or 980, even the occasional 99.9% fine silver, which can be work-hardened to increase durability.
