Choosing Earrings for Extra Special Occasions

Australian Opal Direct

 Few pieces of jewelry can dress up an outfit for an extra special occasion the way a pair of 


opal pendant can.


Think about it: If you're wearing a ring, but not waving it in front of your face, it might get overlooked. The same could be true of a bracelet. And if you have your back to someone, they likely won't appreciate the fabulous necklace you're wearing. But earrings are right in the line of sight. If someone sees your face, they will see your earrings. In fact, you can see someone's earrings from the front, side and back. So if you are really dressing up, the right earrings are essential.


Fashion Forward


Some outfits are bit ahead of the fashion curve, so your jewelry should be, too. The 14K Gold Textured Dangle Earrings, made in Arezzo, Italy, and part of the Stefano Collection, are not your mother's dangle earrings. The dangles are actually dozens of loops crafted from small 14 karat gold chains hanging from a delicate French hook. The dangles will move with you, catching the light. Each earring measures 3 1/16 inch long by 3/8 of an inch wide. Because these earrings are part of a collection, you can also get a matching necklace and bracelet to complete the look.


The variety of hues in the 14K Mystic or Opal-Colored Topaz stud earrings are sure to catch people's attention. The stones feature a prism of colors not often seen in one stone. The Mystic Topaz has hues of green and purple and the Opal-Colored Topaz features rich pastel colors in an opalized finish. These are genuine topaz stones, many of which are naturally colorless. To add color, Topaz is often coated with a very thin film, such as that used on a camera lens, to create alternate looks. These 5.00ct. stones are set in a 14 karat yellow gold deep basket, which lets the light shine through the stones and helps them stand out from your earlobes. They secure with a butterfly back.


Exotic


Many women often favor an exotic look from India, Pakistan, China or Sri Lanka when they attend dress-up occasions. You don't need to be from India to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a silk sari. The colors and the fabrics from other countries are among the richest on the scene. But if you opt for exotic clothing, you have to wear earrings with an international flavor - something equally exotic.


Start with a pair of dyed red sponge coral drop earrings, adorned with garnets and rubies. They are simple, but intricate enough to hold their own with an international outfit. Anchoring the drop earring at the top is a modified fleur-de-lis setting that holds 12 rubies and two garnets. Hanging from the setting are three silver chains that hold the coral drop. Silver and palladium encase the coral drop.


Classics


If the outfit you have selected is a classic line, you will want to keep the same classic look in your jewelry. A simple pair of diamond posts are one option, as well as basic pearl earrings. Another look for some outfits might be a pair of Cameo earrings. This vintage-inspired look features two portraits carved from an oval 12mm orange shell. The filigree setting also features four round full cut 1.75 to 2.00mm orange sapphires. These heirloom earrings are hand-carved, with each layer revealing a different color. Due to the nature of their production, each earring is a one-of-a-kind creation.


Gem Stone


If you really appreciate gem stones, then look for earrings that combine two or more stones. For something simple, consider a pair of floral filigree earrings with both Blue Topaz and Peridot, set in sterling silver and a center circle of 18 karat gold. They are just less than 2 inches long. Each earring features eight round 3mm Blue Topazes in prong settings and two round 2mm green Peridots in a bezel setting.


For something more elaborate, consider four Tashmarine stones set in 14 karat gold drop earrings. Tashmarine is a dusty blue-green stone that needs no artificial enhancements. Each earring has two stones - one round cut 3mm stone, from which an oval cut 4mm stone dangles. The settings are wrought of detailed gold, giving off a very rich look. The earrings measure 7/8 of an inch long by just over ¼ of an inch wide. The total weight of Tashmarine is approximately 1.26ct.

Boulder Opal A Great Choice for Pendant Jewelry

Australian Opal Direct
 Boulder opal is a great alternative to the other two main types of opal: Black opal and White opal earrings . Boulder opal is mostly sold in opal shops as a free form piece of gemstone. That means that the stone has its own individual shape rather than an oval or a circle or a pear shape which black and white opals are normally cut into. A free form shape will not look like any shape that you recognize but will still be pleasing. Another major difference is that boulder opal will often not be smooth and domed on the top. We call this a cabochon from an old French word which translates to the English word hat. We cut most opals into cabochons because it enhances their color characteristics by allowing the light to enter and exit the stone for maximum effect. Boulder opal will mostly have an undulating surface of the opal material sitting on a bed or dark brown ironstone. This means that the stone will need to have a jeweler make a special setting for the stone because ready made se...
