Lorraine: 10mm Fiery White Synthetic Opal Ball Stud Post Earrings 925 Sterling Silver

Lorraine: Gorgeous and very hard to find White Opal Ball Stud Earrings on solid 925 Sterling Silver posts. Made with synthetic Fiery White Australian Opal these are a gorgeous addition to any wardrobe and an ideal gift as the birthstone for October.Many people are not aware that created Opal is actually preferred to natural opal for most jewelry items. Natural Opal is not particularly well-suited to being used in jewelry since it's a relatively soft gemstone, is subject to chipping and breakage, requires regular care and maintenance, and has to be protected from sunlight and many chemicals and contaminants such as hair spray, perfumes and the like. That's why much of the jewelry made with natural Opal are actually created doublets and triplets (Opal mounted to a resin base and then clear-coated to protect it).
