Fire Opal is the stone of warriors: tradition says it represents power and clarity of vision.

Hand-set in .950 silver with its hallmark engraved, these earrings are a statement of authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Fire Opal durable?
A: Fire Opal is softer than some stones (6-6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale). Protect these earrings from direct impact and avoid prolonged water exposure — with normal care, they'll last for years.

Q: Why are these earrings heavier than others?
A: .950 silver is purer than .925 (2.5% more silver), and Fire Opal is dense. Additionally, hand-setting requires more material to secure the stone safely.

Q: Can I wear them daily?
A: Better reserved for special occasions. Everyday earrings are usually lighter .925. These shine at events — weddings, anniversaries, formal dinners.
