Long Dendritic Opal Teardrop Earrings with Leverback Ear Wires
These earrings feature dendritic opals that have been cut into long teardrop shapes, faceted, and framed with gold plated wire so that both sides of the stones can be seen. I've wired them to leverback ear wires in 14K gold-filled.
- The earrings are just over 2 inches (58mm) long, including ear wires, and 1/2 inch wide (10mm).
Dendritic opals are not the color-playing gems that most of us associate with the word opal, but a special type of the opaque white common opal in which other minerals have crystallized in delicate dark branching patterns (dendrites). These markings can suggest landscapes, roads, tendrils, twigs, or other semi-symbolic objects that seem to tap into our imaginations. (I can't help thinking of them as poetic. I know they're rocks.) Each dendritic opal is unique. Healers use this crystal to help foster a connection with nature, attract abundance, and heal psychic wounds.

- Care: Handle gently. Avoid exposing to chemicals and abrasives like chlorine, bleach, saltwater, and hair spray in order to preserve the finish on gems and metals, which can be delicate. Remove to sleep, shower, or exercise. To clean stones, just wipe gently with a soft damp cloth or tissue. Use a tiny bit of dish soap diluted in water on the gold if needed. Once in a long while you can use a chemically treated jewelry wipe to brighten up the gold, but please use it gently. Store the earrings on an earring rack or in a little bag or box to keep them from getting scratched by other jewelry. Keep away from children.
