Aileen: Lime Green Created Australian Opal Ball Stud Earrings 14k White Gold

Aileen: Our Australian Lime Green Opal ball studs are like the essence of spring captured in an earring! They're always a popular choice with their beautiful bright greens and yellows. These gorgeous opals are further accented by flashes of light blues and purples! Mounted on solid 14K White Gold posts, they're a gorgeous addition to any jewelry collection and make an ideal gift for those with an October birth date. Many people are not aware that created Opal is actually preferred to natural opal for most jewelry items. Natural Opal is not particularly well-suited to being used in jewelry since it's a relatively soft gemstone, is subject to chipping and breakage, requires regular care and maintenance, and has to be protected from sunlight and many chemicals and contaminants such as hair spray, perfumes and the like. That's why much of the jewelry made with natural Opal are actually created doublets and triplets (Opal mounted to a resin base and then clear-coated to protect it). PRODUC
