Precious White Opal & Boulder Opal "Heartbreak" Earrings in 18K Gold w Diamonds

About the Item

Two opals -- one a lively precious white opal, and the other a stormy dark blue boulder opal -- both broken. What to do? Spotting the fact they're the same approximate width, Eytan made bezels for the fragments, separating precious from boulder with tiny platinum strips of diamond pavé cut from an old engagement ring. Absolutely one-of-a-kind, in 18 karat gold with brushed satin tops and post closures. Weights & Measurements: Total length: 45mm Width (top discs): 11mm Thickness of bezels: approx. 3mm Opal weight: 4 carats Diamond weight: approx. 0.05 carats Total earrings weight: 11.3 grams Butterfly backs in 18 karat gold are included. NOTE: One of the boulder opals has a hairline crack (barely visible in the earring on the left in the main photo and slightly more visible in the "hand" photo). This crack occurred during setting, though we didn't notice it until we were taking photos (which is why we named these earrings "Heartbreak"). The crack is not noticeable and the opal isn't going anywhere -- it's firmly set in its bezel -- and it's obviously not feasible to replace the opal. We recognize and acknowledge the damage, however, and have priced these earrings accordingly.

By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes bought a trio of carved amethysts (cut for earrings and a pendant) at a trade show several years ago. Originally, he intended them as a matched set with a lot of diamonds, but he never got around to it and eventually put the project aside. Coming across the stones earlier this year, he decided he didn't want to create a matching set, opting instead for something more casual (although "casual" is relative when you're talking about a 30 carat amethyst...
