Silver Opal Earrings and Jewellery: An Elegant and Versatile Choice

Silver opal earrings and silver opal jewellery have become increasingly popular accessories in recent years due to their unique, eye-catching appearance and affordable price point. Opals are known for their rainbow-like iridescence, called 'play-of-colour', making them a favourite gemstone among those looking for something different from traditional diamonds and other precious gemstones. Let's delve into what makes silver opal earrings so special, and why they have become a sought-after choice.

The History of Silver Opal Earrings

Opal jewellery has been around for centuries and has been used in many cultures for its healing properties. Silver, on the other hand, has been used for jewellery for centuries due to its affordability and versatility. In ancient times, silver was used for currency, and its use in jewellery dates back to ancient Egypt and Greece. The combination of silver and opal in real opal earrings is a more recent development, but one that has quickly gained popularity due to its unique appearance, versatility and affordability.

What Makes Silver Opal Earrings Unique

Silver opal earrings are unique due to this special gemstone's play of colour, the versatility of silver as a metal, and the lower price point than gold opal jewellery. The iridescence in opals is caused by light refracting through tightly packed, tiny silica spheres inside the stone, creating a rainbow-like effect that can be seen on the face of the opal as it's turned around and also in different lighting conditions.

Silver can be easily shaped, textured and jewellery designers of all skill levels can work with this metal. This allows for a huge variety of designs to be created, from simple stud opal earrings or drop opal earrings, to elaborate necklaces, bracelets and opal rings. The combination of opal and silver creates a stunning, beautiful piece of real opal jewellery that can be dressed up or down, and worn every day or just on special occasions.

Why Silver Opal Earrings are Versatile

Silver opal earrings are so versatile and easy to wear due to the beautiful combination of the shiny silver metal and bright vivid colours of Australian opals. You'll find lots of designs in this perfect Australian gem and metal union. Silver opal earrings can be simple or elaborate, and can be dressed up or down. A pair of silver opal stud earrings can be worn with a casual outfit, while a pair of silver opal drop earrings could be worn with a formal gown. Similarly, silver opal necklaces and bracelets can be created in a variety of styles and designs, from delicate chains with small opal accents to bold statement pieces with large centre pieces.

How to Care for Silver Opal Earrings

Like all precious jewellery, silver opal earrings should be treated with care to avoid damage. Opals should not be exposed to extreme heat, and opal triplet stones should be kept out of water. They should also be kept away from harsh chemicals, such as perfumes and cleaning products, which can damage the stone, as can ultrasonic cleaners. The easiest way to clean silver jewellery is to polish it gently with a soft cloth and warm water. 

Why Silver Opal Earrings Are For You

Silver opal earrings are an attractive and accessible choice for those looking for something different and unexpected. The combination of the unique iridescence of opals and the versatility of silver allows for a wide range of designs to be created, from simple stud earrings to bold statement necklaces and bracelets. If you're looking for a unique and eye-catching piece of jewellery, consider silver opal earrings.
