Double Opal Drops

I bought these in my hometown with the famous jewellery quarter, The Lanes. I grew up in this town and spent hours wandering the Lanes as a teenager, and later, during my lunch break from work.

These earrings were just the most amazing deal. This particular shop, Paul Goble, always had a lot of opal jewellery. I used to have some of his opal earrings on French wire but lost one. I decided it was time for a new pair.

So, I tried on a pair of drops that were just like this pair, but only single drops. They were 115 pounds. I then asked how much these double drops were. Same price - 115 pounds! I smelt a deal, so I took 'em! It came through as $175.00.

These earrings are absolutely stunning on, so I think they are one of the best bargains of all time.

This is where I got them from - the area is like Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. If you click on the little blue shop, it will enlarge.

Thanks both! Woofmama - they really do glow! The flash actually washed them out a bit - they look even better IRL.

God, I can't believe how much I've spent on jewellery recently. I am so not going to add it up.

It really does look like that! It's an area of tiny, narrow winding streets just wide enough for a couple of people to pass, and lined with little old shops. I'm SURE you could find a wand there if you looked hard enough!
