'Elana' Doublet Opal Earrings Gold Plated Silver

Is this the exact pair of opal earrings I will receive?
Yes. ‘Elana’ is a one-of-a-kind pair, so you will receive the exact earrings shown in the photographs and video.

What materials are the ‘Elana’ earrings made from?
The earrings feature Australian doublet opals bezel set in gold plated silver. Each doublet contains a layer of genuine natural Australian opal.

What size are the opals?
Each diamond-shaped opal measures approximately 10mm × 8mm (0.39″ × 0.31″). This gives the earrings a noticeable presence on the ear without the length or movement of drop earrings.

How do stud earrings compare with drop earrings?
Stud earrings sit close to the earlobe and are generally easier to wear with everyday outfits, scarves and high necklines. Drop earrings offer more movement and length, while ‘Elana’ provides concentrated colour in a compact design.

How do opal doublets compare with solid opals?
A doublet combines a layer of natural Australian opal with a dark backing that enhances its colour and pattern. Doublets offer the beauty of genuine opal at a more accessible price, while solid opals are formed entirely from natural opal material.

How does gold plated silver compare with solid gold?
Gold plated silver creates the warm appearance of yellow gold at a lower price than solid-gold jewellery. Its outer gold layer may gradually wear with regular use, so it requires more careful handling than solid gold.

Can I wear these opal earrings every day?
Their compact stud design makes them well suited to regular wear, but opal doublets and gold plating should be treated carefully. Remove the earrings before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help preserve their condition.

How should I care for the ‘Elana’ opal earrings?
After wearing, gently wipe the earrings with a soft, damp cloth and store them separately from other jewellery. Avoid water, perfume, hairspray, cleaning chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, as these can affect both the opal doublets and gold plated finish.

Are these earrings suitable as a gift?
Yes. Their blue, green and red play-of-colour makes them a thoughtful choice for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions, while opal is also the traditional October birthstone. They arrive in a branded Black Star Opal jewellery box with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Is shipping free and insured?
Yes. Complimentary worldwide delivery is fully insured and trackable from dispatch through to arrival, including shipping throughout Australia, the USA, UK, New Zealand, Europe and beyond.
