Ethiopian Opal Earrings

✧ ✧ ✧

Handcrafted earrings with a delicate triangular shape, worked with an artisan texture and finish that gives them character and authenticity. From the base of the triangle falls a fine little chain, creating a subtle, elegant movement that lengthens and flatters the face.

At the end, natural Ethiopian opals light up the design with their green and golden flashes, adding a magical shine that is hard to ignore. Ethiopian opal is a stone known for boosting creativity, intuition and emotional connection, bringing light to the wearer.

The hoop closure lets the piece move freely, reinforcing that flattering elongated effect.
A piece of jewelry with presence, harmony and charm — one of my favorite pieces for its beauty and balance.

Perfect for those seeking a unique, luminous design full of life.

Opal Care and Conservation Guide

Opals are hydrophilic, delicate gems (Mohs scale: 5.5 - 6.5). Their structure requires specific conditions to preserve its integrity and the characteristic "play of color" of Australian, Ethiopian and Mexican fire varieties.

Maintenance Protocol:

• Technical Cleaning: Use only a lint-free microfiber cloth, slightly dampened with distilled water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam or abrasive chemicals that could compromise the gem's hydration.
• Thermal Management: Avoid exposure to sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) and intense heat sources. Extreme heat can dehydrate the opal, causing surface cracks or loss of opalescence.
• Exposure to Liquids: Do not submerge the piece in water. Ethiopian opals, being porous (hydrophane), can absorb liquids and change color temporarily or permanently.
• External Agents: Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes or acids. Apply these products before putting on the jewelry to prevent residue from seeping into the mineral structure.
• Storage: Store the piece individually in a padded case, away from direct sunlight, to avoid abrasion from contact with harder gems.
