Welo Opal, Sphene, Amethyst & Yellow Diamond Dangle Earrings in 18k Yellow Gold

About the Item

"Royal Earrings" Rich gem hues take these earrings from classic to sumptuous The Design: A timeless silhouette comes alive with vivid gems in saturated complementary colors. On top, Welo opal has a warm honeyed hue with flashes of play of color. Rare and beautiful sphene in the center has a high dispersion, flashing a spectrum of rainbow brilliance. Fancy vivid yellow diamonds frame the gems in color and brilliance. The golden hues are contrasted with a rich purple amethyst, like the robes of Roman emperors, which were royal purple trimmed in gold thread. The Inspiration: “Sphene, one of the first gems I collected, has rainbow flashes of dispersion. I love the way they look next to the play of color in the opal. I chose to pair them with purple, the complementary color. The combination is so striking, rich and lush.” – Alexia Connellan The Gems: The Welo opal from Ethiopia has a beautiful combination of body color and play of color: opals from any other source can’t match it. The natural and untreated amethyst is from Zambia, with an unusually fine and intense color that is very rare. Sphene is a rare collector’s gem with a very high dispersion that makes it flash in spectral colors. It’s perfect to admire in earrings but would be too soft to wear in an everyday ring. This combination of rare and difficult to find gems truly make these earrings one of a kind. The Craftsmanship: These earrings are hand fabricated in 18k yellow gold, platinum, and 18k green gold to complement the play of colors in this design. The fine craftsmanship makes them heirloom quality.
