7 Spectacular Estate & Vintage Opal Pieces [Just-In] Author Lynelle Schmidt Share Facebook Share on Facebook Email Email Date Feb 15, 2021 Estate 7 Spectacular Estate & Vintage Opal Pieces [Just-In] Do you love the mystifying look of opals? Opals are a customer favorite from our estate collection, because of their radiance and the unique way they play with light. The unique light quality of an opal is a result of an opal's internal structure which shows flashes of colors as you move the stone around. An opal stone can flash every single color of the rainbow! It's no wonder that gem quality opals are in such high demand. Opal stones are being spotted on celebrities and fashion forward models around the globe these days. The unique characteristics and radiant glow of these stones makes them perfect for pieces that really stand out from traditional stones like sapphires or rubies. Every once in a while we'll come across an estate or vintage opal piece that really catches our eye. Here are seven of our most enchanting opal pieces that we found in our estate jewelry case this month: 1) Black Opal and Diamond Earrings SOLD! These stunning earrings feature black opals - something you may not be familiar with! Black opals are stones that have a darker body tone than lighter opals, which are much more common. You'll see here that these opal earrings feature a deep, rich blue that makes the color vibrant and the piece much more valuable. People may be surprised to see such intense color peeking through these earrings, surrounded by beautiful diamonds on either side. This pair of earrings will definitely get noticed! 2) Yellow Gold and Opal Ring ESRG3882 || $610 || SHOP NOW I bet you've never laid eyes on a ring quite like this!
