Design Features: These elegant leverback earrings showcase the magical beauty of lab-created white opal in a sophisticated design that combines classic and contemporary elements. Each 9x7mm oval lab opal cabochon displays the characteristic milky white base color with stunning play-of-color - flashes of rainbow fire including blues, greens, pinks, and golds that shift and dance as the stones catch light from different angles.

Lab-created opals offer the same optical properties and beauty as natural opals but with enhanced durability and consistency. The opals are securely held in decorative gold-plated bezels featuring charming beaded edges that add texture and vintage-inspired detail. Above each opal, a cluster of four brilliant white topaz stones creates a sparkling accent that adds extra brilliance and creates elegant visual flow from the leverback to the opal drop.

On the Ear: These versatile drop earrings create elegant movement and ethereal beauty with their iridescent opals. The leverback closure ensures secure, comfortable wear while the moderate drop length creates graceful presence without being overwhelming. The play-of-color in the opals means these earrings look different in every lighting condition, making them endlessly fascinating.

Perfect For:

• October birthstone jewelry (opal)
• Those who love iridescent and color-changing gemstones
• Special occasions and evening events
• Bridal jewelry with ethereal appeal
• Professional settings with sophisticated elegance
• Collectors of opal jewelry
• Gift for lovers of magical gemstones

Lab-Created Opal Properties: Lab-created white opal displays the same stunning "play-of-color" phenomenon as natural opal - flashes of spectral colors that appear to move within the stone. These lab opals offer consistent quality, enhanced durability, and the same mesmerizing optical effects as natural opal. They symbolize hope, purity, and creativity, making them meaningful gifts for artistic souls.

Care Instructions: Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Lab-created opals are more durable than natural opals but still require gentle care. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemicals. Store separately to prevent scratching. Handle gold-plated bezels gently to preserve the plating.
