Black fire opal gold over 925 sterling silver stud earrings made with a pair of excellent quality grade natural fire Opal round faceted gemstones 6mm in diameter. The play of color in these lively opals features vivid red, green and orange flashes with subtle glow to it and
a dramatic contrast of red and green fire dancing with the light and seen especially bright against the dark base tone.

🔹 Size: 6 mm

🔹 Weight: 1-1.2ct (for pair)

🔹 Shape and Cut: round faceted

🔹Quality Grade: AAA - AAA+/AAAA

🔹 Brightness: 5/5

🔹 Fire colors: red, orange and green with variable fire patterns- very high quality grade intense play of color throughout; AAAA opals are exceptionally bright with more red fire than a typical black opal;

🔹The opals are 100% natural, earth mined Ethiopian Welo Opals.
The standard quality of the fire opals is always high AAA or rare bright with intense fire AAAA - this shop is specializing in the best quality jewelry I make with selected gemstones.

🔹The play of color in all of the opals is always vibrant and visible under natural light as well as the artificial light and some exceptionally beautiful stones are separated into their own menu category of AAA+/AAAA Opal Brilliance having more of the red colored fire and unusual overall brightness.

🔹The range of colors also may include orange, yellow and blue surface flashes with bright vibrant display of color throughout.

🔹The opals are perfectly cut to bring out the best colors to the surface as the surface meets the light and will sparkle all the time bringing life into the gemstones as you move. Deep yet bright and mysterious contrast with the deep black base color - very beautiful!
The red fire is absolutely amazing flashing so bright against the dark background with stunning contrast - these opals are my favorite ones due to the unexpected changes in their colors coming out of the dark base tone of the opal’s surface during movement and not readily apparent under normal still light. This effect adds mysterious aspect to each gemstone although the opal itself might appear to be darker than some other black opals with lighter base tone at the first sight. It requires some interaction to reveal their beauty which is sometimes concealed within the stone;
Some opals with light base tone have their fire visible right away which is also beautiful and cheerful. Oftentimes the stones have a combination of these two features with some play of color seen on the surface and some of the colors appearing suddenly in response to the movement and the changes in the light angle. Regardless, the opals I pick for this store are always the best despite changes in their overall appearance *

🔹Although of relatively small size, these handpicked and carefully selected for their unique beauty and their colorful fire gemstones will make you happy and will get you noticed!

🟪PROCESSING TIME:

🔹 I try to do my best to ship my orders as soon as possible ( usually within a few days), but unfortunately I have certain physical health limitations, which sometimes prevent me from being able to work, so the MAXIMUM processing time is set for 4 weeks just in case I have to take a short break.....Occasionally I also need to reorder supplies, so this also might play a role. My family lives in Ukraine, so I am also trying to be there for them as often as I can especially in times of danger - thank you for your understanding 🙏🏻

🔹Each item is made only to order - there are no premanufactured pieces, which I can drop in a mailbox the same day - every piece requires a lot of time, care and attention to be made according to your specifications and with the craftsmanship I consider suitable for this shop that has the best quality pieces I offer;
___________________________
🟪URGENT ORDERS:

🔴URGENT ORDERS DO NOT HAVE ANY SET PROCESSING TIME AND ARE FULFILLED BASED ON THE CURRENT INVENTORY AND SUPPLIES AVAILABILITY.

🔹If I am unable to fulfill your order within the requested amount of time, I will PROMPTLY issue you a refund, so you can make your purchase elsewhere;
_________________
🟪MATERIALS:

🔹 I use only high quality 100% NATURAL earth mined SOLID Ethiopian Welo opals to create my jewelry;

🔴 I NEVER use doubles/triplets opals, artificially enhanced, or synthetically colored man made gemstones.

🔹 The metal of choice for me is 925 sterling silver, but I also use solid 14K gold for custom made pieces as well as gold filled and plated sterling silver settings or chains. The specifics are mentioned in each listing description;

🔹 I prefer to use rhodium plated silver for my ring settings as it provides superior protection against tarnish and preserves the polished new look of the silver. Rhodium is a precious metal, which looks similar to white gold and two are often used interchangeably in the industry;
Whenever rhodium wears off (it is typically VERY durable unlike gold plating) you are left with 925 sterling silver item, so this feature offers tremendous improvement and convenience not only better appearance in comparison with standard non plated 925 sterling silver which tarnishes right away and requires constant maintenance. Rhodium put an end to all of that headache and I absolutely LOVE it!

🟪OPAL BUYING TIPS:

🔹Each Opal is very unique and special. Just like you are. That’s why we love them.

🔹 Please keep this in mind when you are looking through the available items, because the item you will receive WILL definitely look different from the listing photos, which is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL.
Even if the two opals have the same quality and brightness - they still will offer their own unique way of interacting with the light, which is what defines the Opal and gives it its "personality". Most listings contain photos of a few very similar opals unless indicated otherwise.

🔹 This is why it is much easier to see the true nature of any Opal by viewing a number of videos of similar items - not just seeing this listing images and video;
So, please visit my extensive video and photo gallery to see what items like this one look like under different light and made with different opals, so you can have a better idea of their play of color and how it changes in real life - this is the best way to make your experience smooth and have realistic expectations when you are buying opal jewelry. Natural opals, being the true chameleons, change their appearance significantly depending on the slightest changes in the lighting environment, camera angle, movement and everything around them.

🔹 What we call the “fire” in an opal is actually a refracted light, which goes through its complex inner structure to produce that unique dance of light and color - in some ways an opal functions as a funky kind of mirror and reflects what appears in its view by turning the reality into a burst of vibrant color.
The brighter the light around an opal the more it will be able to reflect back at you and it will always be changing and sparkling following every subtle movement. To capture this living and swirling motion on a still photo is impossible, so in order to show you the real play of color in every opal I have to manipulate the lighting and create the most optimal environment for showing its best potential. Please keep in mind that variations between the listing images and the actual item are inevitable because of the opal's very nature.
I have a more detailed post on the subject in my blog that I highly recommend for you to read :

🔹Since I’m working with natural gemstone, which is cut by hand and not by machine some stones might have slight irregularities in their shape, which are not affecting the look of the item. Some very small inclusions or tiny imperfections are also sometimes present, but they are so small, that they are not visible with the naked eye most of the time. I do not use stones with visible defects to make my jewelry - this is something that you might expect once in a while only.
