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.
