'Avah' Triplet Opal Earrings Silver

Are the opals in the ‘Avah’ earrings genuine?
Yes. Each triplet contains a genuine layer of natural Australian opal sourced from Coober Pedy, South Australia.

Why are opal triplets used in these earrings?
Triplets also offer an accessible way to enjoy genuine Australian opal. The dark backing helps intensify the opal’s play-of-colour, while the clear upper layer protects the natural opal and creates a smooth, polished finish.

Will I receive the exact earrings pictured?
As multiple pairs are available, the colours and patterns may vary slightly from the pair pictured. Every natural opal layer is different, so each pair will have its own individual play-of-colour.

What colours do the opals display?
The opals display varied multi-colour play-of-colour, which may include blue, green, red, orange and yellow flashes. The colours visible will change with the light and viewing angle.

How large are the opals?
Each teardrop-shaped opal measures approximately 8mm × 5mm (0.31″ × 0.20″).

What metal are the earrings made from?
The settings and shepherd’s hooks are crafted in polished sterling silver.

How are the opals set?
Each opal is held within a smooth sterling silver bezel setting that follows the outline of the teardrop shape.

Are these earrings suitable for pierced ears?
Yes. ‘Avah’ has traditional shepherd’s hooks designed for pierced ears.

Are the ‘Avah’ earrings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Their comfortable drop design works well for regular wear, although triplet opals should be protected from water, chemicals and hard impacts.

How should I care for Australian triplet opal earrings?
Remove the earrings before showering or swimming. Avoid soaking them or exposing them to perfume, hairspray, chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners or situations where the opals may strike a hard surface. Gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and store them separately in their box.
