We were at my favorite Sanibel Island jewelry store buying a present for my daughter. I was checking out when hubby yells out....Umm you may want to come over here and look at these earrings. When hubby finds something it's usually good so over I go and Oh MY...…...the opal earrings I have been looking for! Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you hubby!!! I had totally missed them because I was focused on my daughter's gift. So introducing my early birthday earrings...……….18kt yellow gold, 2.43 cts black opals and almost .50 cts diamonds. Gotta love my enabler!!!

My word, these are so striking! And they look absolutely beautiful against your skin!

You need to get your husband to speak to my husband....

They are stunning.
I was looking at faux opals at the mall today. You know, just to see something that sparkles. Yeah, no. I want something like thus!

They do, thank you strawrose!

Hahaha, he's been well trained. Thank you so much. My opal suite is now complete.

Wow! Dreamy. :love:

Thanks acaw2015

He did very well! I didn't see them at all which is very rare for me. He said he was debating whether to tell me or try and go back somehow and buy them in secret. He decided not to wait in case they wouldn't be there. Smart hubby!

Aww thanks! There's just something about opals that mesmerize me. They are constantly changing.

Love this cool, modern take on opals. I personally love stones that are sliced and shown flat. They look fabulous on you!

Thanks LLJsmom! They were exactly what I had been looking for. Don't tell anyone but I was watching The Bachelorette and she had on earrings that were almost exactly the same as these except her's had a diamond hoop at the top instead of posts like mine. I was mesmerized by how they moved. I am now seriously considering having these altered to dangle from a diamond hoop. Ahh, never satisfied, lol.

Thank you hypermom! They are one of my favorites too even with their "bad rap". I had somebody ask me the other day if it didn't scare me to wear them based on their reputation. I was like...umm no, not in the least, lol.

Thank you so much tyty333! Just a thing I have. They don't have to match but they better be close, lol.

How beautiful, @Catmom! And full of that blue i know you love so much - with shots of glorious red, orange and lilac!! Delicious!

I dont know how I missed these before - but I have to say - these are delicious! Perfect for summer - I hope this piece is on your wrist often during these sun-shiny days!

And great job *again*, Mr Catmom!!
