Q: What type of Opal is used in these earrings?
A: These earrings feature lab-created synthetic Opals. They are grown in labs to closely mimic the chemical and physical properties of natural Opals, offering vibrant colour play and durability.
Q: How are lab-created Opals made?
A: Lab-created Opals are formed through a controlled process that replicates natural conditions over time, using silica and resin to create a stone that is almost identical to natural Opal in appearance and composition.
Q: Are synthetic Opals different from natural Opals?
A: While lab-created, synthetic Opals have the same visual beauty and many of the same properties as natural Opals, with added durability and consistency.
Q: What is rhodium plating and why is it used?
A: Rhodium plating is a thin layer of rhodium metal applied over Sterling Silver to enhance shine, durability, and prevent tarnishing. It gives the earrings a bright, lasting finish and protects the metal underneath.
Q: What are the CZ stones in the earrings?
A: CZs, or cubic zirconias, are sparkling synthetic gemstones that add extra brilliance and shimmer to the earrings.
Q: Are these earrings comfortable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, they are lightweight and designed for all-day comfort.
Q: How should I care for my rhodium-plated Opal earrings?
A: Avoid harsh chemicals and clean gently with a soft cloth to maintain the rhodium plating and stone brilliance.
Q: Do these earrings come packaged for gifting?
A: Absolutely. Each order arrives in sustainable packaging with a personalised handwritten note from our studio.
Q: Are these earrings safe for sensitive ears?
A: Yes—because they’re nickel‑free and rhodium‑plated, they’re gentle on even the most delicate skin.
Q: How are the stones set?
A: The opal sits securely in four-prong settings surrounded by a CZ halo, with additional CZ accents cradled below in classic prong mountings
