Dendritic Opal, Flowers and Sprouts Earrings

I've framed these dendritic opals in deeply oxidized silver to emphasize the color markings. They dangle from my 18k gold tipped sprout earwires with more drama below. A whimsical flower fashioned from my 14k scraps sits below the main stones and a sweet cluster of freshwater pearls on 14k pins below the flowers. These measure 2 1/8 inches long. I've cut out the silver behind the dendritic opals to lighten the weight.
