About the Item

Victorian dangle earrings with a precious opals. This is a beautiful pair of antique dangle earrings created in England during the late Victorian period, between the 1880 and 1890. The unusual and colorful earrings have been crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with patinated finish. They are mounted with twenty Australian precious opals and accented with twenty rose cuts diamonds. The earrings are fitted at the reverse with concealed gold posts for pierced ears and butterfly backs in 14Kt yellow gold for comfort fit. Precious-Opals Opals gemstones like this are rare, opalescence refers to the optical phenomena displayed by the mineraloid gemstone opal (hydrated silicon dioxide). However, there are three notable types of opal (precious, common, and fire), each with different optical effects, so the intended meaning varies depending on context. The optical effects seen in various types of opal are a result of refraction (precious and fire) or reflection (common) due to the layering, spacing, and size of the myriad microscopic silicon dioxide spheres and included water (or air) in its physical structure. When the size and spacing of the silica spheres are relatively small, refracted blue-green colors are prevalent; when relatively larger, refracted yellow-orange-red colors are seen; and when larger yet, reflection yields a milky-hazy sheen.
