DESCRIPTION:
This is a very gorgeous pair of earrings that would make a great gift! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Tina Gasper, out of genuine sterling silver and man made Opal. The inlay is carefully set, while thin silver lines highlight in between for a beautiful look.
Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
