These Mexican Fire Opal and sterling silver leaf earrings were handcrafted by Leon Nussbaum, our London silversmith, of pure British sterling silver. According to history, Mexican Opals were used by the Aztecs to adorn ornamental and ceremonial pieces. The secret combination of silica spheres within the opal creates a play of sparking light flashes, similar to flames from a fire, that will flicker with every movement of the wearer. Each earring measures 1.5 inches long, with wires. Handcrafted for Uno Alla Volta from the heart and hands of the artisans. Click here for more information regarding Fire Opal Jewelry.
