Fun statement earrings featuring high quality fossilized coral, Ethiopian opal, and 14k rose gold fill!
This fossilized coral has floral like patterns in shades of sandy beige, peach, orange, pink, and cream, so unique!
They are securely wire wrapped and accented with plump Ethiopian opals. The opals are hard to capture on camera, but they have wonderful sparkling greens and pinks in the light!
*Please note that opal is naturally a more delicate stone, so extra care is recommended when handling and wearing opal jewelry.
Do not wear your opals in water as most Ethiopian opals are considered to be a "hydrophane" opal which naturally has the ability to absorb water, which may in some cases change their color.

WHAT IS GOLD FILLED?
14kt gold filled is a layer of solid 14kt gold (gold alloy) bonded to a jeweler's brass core.
Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating - Gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold alloy than gold plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better than gold plated. All it would take is one small scratch on a gold-plated piece to expose the jeweler’s brass underneath.
