Lightning Ridge Opal Studs Captured® in 18k gold
One-of-a-kind Lightning Ridge opals, Captured® in 18k gold with Hilary’s signature gold crossbars holding each stone securely in place. Each opal is a miniature sky: depending on the angle, you’ll see sunset hues or a bright, clear sky with flashes of aqua and teal shimmering across a warm orangey-purple base. Bold and luminous, these earrings are striking on their own or make a perfect addition to an earring stack.
For collectors who prefer flexibility when buying pieces priced $2500 and up, arrangements for 2-4 payment installments are available. Contact Hilary to discuss options.
About the stone: Opal
Pliny the Elder called opal the gem that carries all others inside it. Ancient Greeks believed they fell from heaven in flashes of lightning. From Australian boulder, Lightning Ridge black, Ethiopian crystal, to Mexican fire, to Peruvian pink, opals are full of mystery, evoking nebulae, the depths of the sea, and wonders yet-to-be-discovered. No two flash alike.
