Opal Earrings

Opal Gemstone Earrings

The opal. A colorless, usually creamy-white gemstone that surprises you by releasing a full spectrum of iridescent, dancing colors when caught in the light. In the Middle Ages, opals considered omens of good fortune. At the time, opals were rare and deemed quite valuable, so naturally, they became greatly prized by royalty. Even William Shakespeare dubbed opal as the "queen of gems" in his play Twelfth Night.

Luckily, you don't have to be royalty to own opal jewelry, but you can certainly feel like one–especially when you slip on a pair of dazzling opal earrings. The most popular styles of earrings are stud and drop.

Opal Stud Earrings

Nothing compares to the classic sophistication of a simple opal stud earring. They are the perfect go-to for everyday wear, matching anything and everything. Light up your look with a pop of celestial blue and soft pink opal, or let your lobes play host to a gallery of colors. Rimmed by sparkling diamonds, white topaz, sapphires, or ropes and twists in gold or sterling silver–the intricate settings are endless.

Opal Drop Earrings

Lavish and feminine, opal drop earrings fall just below the earlobes and adds a touch of elegance to any look you choose, from gorgeous captive-style designs and ornate toppers to teardrop-shaped settings.

Whether you need the perfect accessory or want to give a close friend or relative a rare and elegant piece of jewelry that will last a lifetime, authentic opal earrings are unique, beautiful, and timeless–just like you.
