Ethiopian opals suspended from textured silver hoops. These earrings are lovely on and hang 1 1/2 inches from the top of the earring. So on the smaller side. The hoops are created from a medium weight silver to hold their shape and are oxidized to enhance the ornate vintage texture I applied to them. They have an elegant feel to them but are small enough to be worn for any occasion. The color display of the opals is beautiful greens blues and gold.
