Opal Ball Platinum Earrings

About the Item

If you like clean shapes, you cannot get by the shape of a ball. last year, I found four beautiful opals in the shapes of little more than half balls (the larger ones 11.4mm with a weight of 9 carats and the smaller ones 8.9mm with a weight of 3.5 carats) and wanted to use them for earrings without interrupting or adding to the ball shape. I cut a noth at the bottom of the gems, leaving half balls untouched with the notch to be able to anchor a setting. The platinum settings (total platinum of the earrings: 15.6 grams) are put together from two-part bowls that enclose the notch of the opals when put together and build a full ball with the gems. On the video, you can see the vertical line in the platinum setting. The two-part bowls are put together and laser welded. This way I could create the earrings with a clean appearence that shows only the gems and the chain holing them together when looking from the front. The chain with the hanging opal is attached from the back of the earlobe. You can wear just the upper opals on the earlobes without attaching the hanging ones if you like. If you are looking out for clean shapes and if you love opals, these earrings are something very special, that I guess you have not seen before.
