Australian opal earrings, handmade recycled fine silver earrings Viburnum_leaf I strung the pendant onIncredibly sparkly Australian boulder opals set in eco friendly fine silver. They have blue green blue sparkles along with flashes of red and peach. Extraordinary gemstones. I set them in ornate rectangle frames. I gave the silver an antique patina, and signed the backside. I hung them from sterling silver locking lever back ear wires. They measure 43 mm x 19 mm, or 1 3 4 inches long. A note on precious metal clay: ArtClay silver is a recycled product
