Fiery Faceted Opal Briolette Gold Dangle Drop Cluster Earrings, Barbara Heinrich
Located in Dallas, TX
One of a Kind Cluster Drop Earrings hand-fabricated by acclaimed, award-winning jewelry maker Barbara Heinrich in signature-finished 18k yellow gold featuring 25.59 total carats of perfectly-matched, top quality faceted Ethiopian opal briolettes, accented with handmade gold rice drop charms, and finished on handmade and granulated 18k yellow gold ear wires. Spectacular color-play. Stamped and Hallmarked. About the Maker - Barbara Heinrich grew up in Heilbronn, Germany, where she collected snail shells, dried noodles, and broken glass to cultivate her first jewelry collections. Selling her pieces on the streets of her hometown, Barbara knew that she would be designing for the rest of her life, as “the inspiration has always been with me.” After graduating with a master’s degree from RIT, she discovered a perfect balance between geometric lines and organic shapes, a balance that ultimately allowed her to “communicate with her viewers on a spiritual plane.” She never worries about running out of ideas, and only hopes that her creations “speak to you and that their beauty and uniqueness touch the beauty and uniqueness within you.” On display at the American Museum of Natural History...

Antique and Vintage Opal Jewelry

Opals were discovered in 400 BC, and since then five types have been found throughout the world. Before you start shopping for mysteriously beautiful vintage opal rings and other opal jewelry, learn about the different varieties of the gem — and find out which historical figure was reportedly willing to trade his kingdom for a single stone.

Here is a little riddle for you: the month of October has two birthstones, but only one of them encompasses the colors of other birthstones. If you guessed opal, you’re right! (The other gemstone associated with the month of October is tourmaline.)

Opals are such unusual gemstones that there are too many old-wives tales associated with them, like if you’re a blond, wearing an opal necklace will protect your locks from losing color. Opals were also very fashionable in the early 19th century, up until the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s novel Anne of Geierstein in 1829. The title heroine wears an opal and succumbs to an untimely death. However, the British monarchy, and in particular Queen Victoria, did not let this story get in their way, and they frequently gifted opals to friends and family members. October babies should disregard the noise and proudly wear their opals!

There are five types of precious opals: boulder opal, fire opal, crystal/water opal, black opal, and white/light opal. Each variety is distinguished by its color.

So, where does the name come from? The word opal is thought to originate from the Roman opalus or from the Sanskrit úpala (“precious stone”) or from the Greek opallios (“to see a color change”). So while there have been many names for the stones, opals were first discovered in 400 BC in Ethiopia. But the early reference that comes up most often in history books is from the Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder, who wrote about it in 75 AD. In his text he refers to it as opali. The Romans were big fans of opal, Mark Antony was so enamored by it that, as the story goes, he was willing to trade a portion of his kingdom for a single opal.

There's a wide variety of antique and vintage opal jewelry on 1stDibs (and you won't have to trade your kingdom for it).
