These one-of-a-kind earrings feature long, blade-like shards of Peruvian blue opal. Their faces are satin-finished for a soft, luminous glow (not high-shine), while the raw matrix edges highlight the stone’s natural formation. Each shard displays striking streaks of royal and navy blue, creating depth and movement within the stone. They are suspended from my signature pendulum-style earwires, accented with small corrugated and oxidized sterling silver discs for an added touch of texture and contrast. Lightweight yet bold, these earrings measure approximately 2 inches long by ⅝ inch wide.

Gemstone information. Peruvian blue opal is a rare variety of opal found only in the Andes of Peru. Its tranquil hues evoke the Pacific Ocean and high mountain skies, and it is often associated with calmness and emotional healing. Traditionally, blue opal is thought to:
• Ease stress and encourage emotional balance
• Support communication and clear expression of feelings
• Foster creativity, inspiration, and spiritual connection
As a throat chakra stone, it is believed to encourage truthful communication and authentic self-expression, while its soothing energy helps quiet the mind.

Thoughtful Pricing. These earrings are priced to reflect the rarity of Peruvian blue opal, a gemstone prized for its serene oceanic colors and limited geographic source. The design incorporates artisan earwires, hand-shaped and soldered in sterling silver, with carefully oxidized accents that add depth and contrast. Unlike mass-produced settings, these earrings are entirely handcrafted, with attention given to every detail of form, finish, and wearability.
Your purchase also includes complimentary domestic shipping and a gift-ready box, while directly supporting independent jewelry craftsmanship and the continued use of natural, responsibly sourced gemstones.

Pricing: Necklaces
My necklaces are priced to reflect the rarity of the gemstones, the amount of sterling silver used, and the time-intensive craftsmanship involved. Many feature large, unique focal stones that are more costly and harder to source. Each necklace is hand-wired and custom-finished to order in your selected length, using only solid sterling silver—not plated or pre-fabricated materials. Compared to smaller jewelry, necklaces often require more complex construction and a higher level of detail. The pricing reflects the quality, artistry, and intention behind every piece.
