Sterling Silver and Ethiopian Opal
These sage blossom earrings are fully hand-frabicated and sawn from real dried sage blossoms, straight off the plant, from the end of summer.
They are lightweight, for long dangle earrings. Caring for these is simple. Keep in a closed jewelry box or small ziplock bag to prevent tarnishing and oxidation of the sterling silver.
If the earrings need cleaning, please use a gentle polishing rag and use light pressure on affected areas. Earrings should not be twisted, pulled, torqued, or in any way manipulated.
Note: Ethiopian opal absorbs moisture, as it is a porous material. Moisture dulls the flash of opal, but the flash returns once the opal has fully dried.
Olia began as a metalsmith in autumn of 2019, after moving to the Pacific Northwest. At the time she was a professor of anthropology, but she spent all of her free time in a tiny storage room she set up as a studio. Olia's work is influenced by the botanical world and Art Nouveau.
