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.

Mabe Pearl "Serendipity" Earrings with Orange Sapphire Halos in 18 Karat Gold
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan Brandes made the halo frames for these earrings before picking out the center stone because he knew wanted to use orange sapphires, which he loves, but wasn't sure what would look best inside a ring of these fiery little bad boys. It turns out EVERYTHING looks good in an orange sapphire halo. But what ultimately won the day were these two gorgeous 16mm shimmery blue-gray mabe pearls. We call these our Serendipity earrings because it was just by idle chance that Eytan happen to spy a pair of dated clip-ons that have been sitting in his pearl drawer for about a century. And it was a minor miracle that they fit his new halos perfectly -- like they've been sitting in that drawer all these years waiting for Eytan to save them from fusty, dusty, musty clip-on purgatory! The 56 sapphires -- totaling 0.99 carats -- are natural, faceted and meticulously hand-set with tiny beads, pavé-style. The closures are simple shepherd wires. Measurements: Total length: 1-1/4" Width: 3/4" (Note that our ceramic ear model...
