Mystical beauty in miniature. These fantastic 9ct yellow gold opal stud earrings showcase the ethereal beauty of natural white opals in a perfectly dainty 5.3mm setting. Each pair captures the mesmerising play of light that has enchanted jewellery lovers for centuries.
The Magic of Opal
Symbolism: Known as the 'Stone of Inspiration', opal has been revered throughout history as a symbol of creativity, emotional healing, and spiritual transformation. Ancient Romans believed opals contained the beauty of all gemstones, whilst Aboriginal Australian legend tells of opals being created when the rainbow touched the earth, leaving behind these magical stones that capture all colours of light.
Geological Wonder: Opals are formed through a fascinating geological process over millions of years. As silica-rich water seeps through rock crevices and gradually evaporates, it leaves behind microscopic silica spheres that create opal's signature 'play of colour' - the rainbow-like flashes that dance across the stone's surface as light hits it from different angles.
October's Enchanting Birthstone
Opal is the treasured birthstone for October, making these elegant studs a deeply meaningful gift for autumn babies. According to gemstone lore, wearing your birthstone enhances your natural talents and brings good fortune. For October-born individuals, opal is believed to amplify creativity, boost confidence, and encourage emotional balance.
Please note: Each opal is naturally unique - colours and patterns will vary between pairs, making your earrings truly one-of-a-kind.
