This necklace and earrings set is made with natural Ethiopian welo opal, which is a type of opal that is known for its unique colors and patterns. The opals used in this set are cut into round and teardrop shapes and are wire wrapped in 14K gold filled wire. Gold filled is a type of jewelry that is made by bonding a layer of gold to a base metal, such as brass or copper. It is more durable and long-lasting than gold plated jewelry, but it is not as expensive as solid gold. The necklace is 20 inches long, with a 2-inch chain extension that is finished with a lobster claw clasp. The earrings are 1 1/2 inches long and have lever back closures that are also made of 14K gold filled. This jewelry set is a great gift idea for someone who loves handcrafted jewelry or who has an October birthday, as opal is the birthstone for October. The set will arrive in a jewelry box, ready for gift-giving.
