These Australian Opal Earrings are a stunning manifestation of nature's beauty crafted in the warm embrace of 14k rose gold. Their delicate curves mirror the elegant silhouette of avian flight; the arches of each opal heart earring poised like an albatross soaring purposefully through endless skies in devoted pursuit of its beloved. Each drop earring cradles a singular pipe opal — a form of crystal opal as rare as it is mesmerizing. Iridescent opal hues project the essence of a sunrise from below the sparkling rose cut facades of two purple sapphires. Like the albatross, whose devotion knows no bounds, these heart earrings lovingly reflect a connection that is boundless.
A delightful display of jewelry art, these opal earrings are handmade in Los Angeles. Claw prongs, refined in their precision, hold each opal securely while the sapphires nest in custom bezels. On back a secret engraving awaits – a message intended exclusively for their owner. Perfectly paired mismatched earrings for lovers of unique jewelry.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Caring For Your Jewelry:
Fine jewelry is delicate and should be treated with care. Avoiding any chemical exposures (ie: chlorine, lotion, etc…) and removing your jewelry during rigorous activity (ie: exercise or gardening) or at times of potential impact is advised. Please contact us at hello@nixinjewelry.com for assistance if your stone is loose or your setting is catching.
• Cleaning Your Jewelry:
Soft and or porous stones such as (solid) Opals, Turquoise, or even Pearls, can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water. Diamonds are harder, but not impervious to damage — the care instructions above are safe to apply. Unless specifically recommended by us, we advise against the use of chemical cleaners on your NIXIN Jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic devices with soft and porous gemstones as well as pave. Have your jewelry professionally cleaned as needed.
• Opal Jewelry Cleaner:
We do offer a gentle cleaning agent on-site that is safe to use on most jewelry (including Opals), though we always recommend testing a small area prior to doing a full cleaning. We offer a bottle version of our foaming NIXIN Jewelry Cleaner to handle your jewelry cleaning at home and a Jewelry Cleaning Pen you can fit in your purse and take with you wherever you go.
