Understated, with beautiful opals. Very unusual stones with changing colors, distinctive colors of the rainbow.

An original handmade piece, you are purchasing these specific earrings from the photo. Along with the jewelry, I am also sending its Birth Certificate - a guarantee of originality with a description of the jewelry.
The jewelry is handmade using classic goldsmithing techniques, polished to a high shine.
Stones: beautiful round cabochons of expensive smoky opal originating from Ethiopia (4 x 5 mm), hand cut in the Czech Republic. They are in basic light golden shades, the colors and saturations of different shades of the rainbow flow in them in different ways. From golden to green, blue and subtle pink. The stones are really very unusual and their color is very variable with the change of light. They are completely different in the sun, in the shade, under dim interior light... Opals are generally difficult to capture in photographs, so their beauty remains hidden only for their owner. A few different photos, but still the same earrings.
Size of earrings: Bed with stone measures 5.5 x 4.7 mm. The relief has a height of 2.6 mm. The length of the threaded shaft is 9.25 mm (the space for the earlobe is 3.20 mm and I can shorten it further on request). The shaft is located in the center of the oval bed. See photo.
Weight of earrings: 0.79 g (of which opals 0.06 g).
