Ethiopian opal earrings with white zircon accents in 18K yellow gold over sterling silver create a piece where the opal's extraordinary play-of-color phenomenon - internal light refraction producing flashes of red, orange, green, and blue within the stone - is framed by warm gold that amplifies each color event. Ethiopian opals are prized for their intense play-of-color, and at 1.09 carats of oval stone the surface area is sufficient to display multiple color events simultaneously as the earring moves. The white zircon accents provide precise sparkle that complements the opal's organic light show. In warm gold at approximately 0.67 inches long, every aspect of these earrings appears most rich and vivid. Hidden snap posts ensure secure everyday wear.
