Description

Few gemstones captivate like African opal — alive with shifting color, no two ever the same.

These stud earrings feature 9x11mm oval African opal cabochons set in 14K yellow gold. African opals are prized for their vivid play-of-color — the phenomenon where light dances across the stone in flashes of blue, green, orange, and gold. The smooth cabochon cut maximizes this optical magic, while the warm yellow gold setting frames each stone with understated elegance. Earring backings are included.

Frequently asked questions

Is my piece ready to ship or made to order?

Each product page says which. A piece marked “In stock, ready to ship” is on our shelf and leaves the gallery within 1 to 3 business days. A piece marked “Made to order” is chosen and strung for you once you order and ships in 3 to 4 weeks. Bespoke designs from a custom consultation follow their own timeline, typically 4 to 6 weeks.

How long will my order take to process and arrive?

Pieces in stock are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days; made-to-order pieces ship in 3 to 4 weeks. Standard domestic shipping takes 5 to 7 business days following dispatch. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

What is your return and exchange policy?

Unworn pieces in their original packaging can come back for a full refund to your original payment within 14 days of receiving your order, or for full store credit within 30 days. To start a return, contact the gallery or bring the piece to our Bellevue gallery. Custom and altered pieces are final sale.

The full terms are in our refund policy.

How should I clean and care for my pearl jewelry?

Remember the rule: “Pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.” Keep them away from perfume, hairspray, and household chemicals. Wipe them gently with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Never submerge pearls in ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemical dips.
