Opals in Orbit gold opal earrings
Opals in Orbit gold opal earrings
Opals have been found on Mars. This is impressive, although slightly inconvenient if you want to wear them to the post office.
Fortunately, these opals are considerably closer.
The two open circles swing independently, moving the bright 5 mm opals every time you turn your head. Because the design is made mostly of open space, you get the color, length, and movement of a statement earring without the weight usually attached to one.
That means they can make an ordinary daytime errand more interesting and still look right when the day becomes an evening out.
It’s Friday. You wear them while handling the post office, the grocery store, and everything else standing between you and the weekend. Later, you change into your school colors and head to the homecoming football game.
The earrings stay.
There is enough color in the opals to find your school colors somewhere in the flash. The hammered gold catches the stadium lights, the opals move as you walk through the stands, and the earrings still feel comfortable when the marching band begins its third trip through the fight song.
Jewelry that can handle the post office and Friday-night lights without losing its sense of occasion—that’s useful, isn’t it?

Each earring begins with a long 14k gold-filled ear wire connected to two hammered circles. The smaller circle leads into a larger open circle, where a 5 mm opal triplet hangs freely near the center.
The separate connections allow the circles and opals to move independently. That movement continually changes the angle of the stones, bringing out flashes of red alongside their other bright colors. The polished, hammered surfaces catch their own share of light without competing with the opals.
From the piercing to the bottom, the earrings measure approximately 1½ inches. The two-circle section accounts for about one inch of that length. Their open construction creates visible movement and presence while keeping the earrings lightweight enough to wear from daytime errands through an evening in the stadium.
Each triplet contains a thin layer of natural opal supported by a dark backing and protected by a clear cap. The construction increases the contrast of the opal’s color and adds protection for regular wear.
Scientists needed orbiters, spectrometers, and a rover to locate opal on Mars. You merely need a pair of ear wires. Progress comes in many forms.
