'Grace' Triplet Opal Earrings Silver

Do the ‘Grace’ earrings feature genuine Australian opal?
Yes. Each triplet contains a genuine layer of natural opal sourced from Coober Pedy, South Australia.

How is a triplet opal made?
A triplet combines a thin layer of natural opal with a dark backing and a clear protective cap. This construction highlights the opal’s colour and creates a smooth, polished surface.

Are the opals solid?
No. ‘Grace’ features Australian triplet opals rather than solid opals. The natural Australian opal forms the colourful central layer of each assembled gemstone.

Which colours can appear in these earrings?
The opals may display green, blue, red, orange and yellow play-of-colour. The precise combination, pattern and intensity will differ naturally between available pairs.

Will my earrings look identical to the photographed pair?
We have multiple pairs in stock, and each contains different natural opal patterning. Your earrings will have the same oval design and multi-colour appearance, but some variation should be expected.

What size is each opal?
Each oval opal measures approximately 7mm × 5mm (0.28″ × 0.20″). This compact size adds visible colour while remaining easy to wear.

Why is the oval shape so versatile?
The balanced, softly curved outline works naturally with both casual and dressier outfits. It also provides a broad surface for displaying the opal’s changing colour.

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

Can I wear these earrings regularly?
Yes. Their compact drop style makes them suitable for regular wear, but triplet opals should be kept away from water, chemicals and hard impacts.

Is a Certificate of Authenticity included?
Yes. ‘Grace’ comes with a signed Black Star Opal Certificate of Authenticity confirming that the earrings contain genuine Australian opal.

Will the earrings arrive ready to gift?
Yes. They are presented in a branded Black Star Opal earring box, making them a lovely gift for an October birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.
