Opal and Sterling Silver Modern Earrings from Nicaragua, "Modern Half-Moons"
"These earrings are inspired by simple geometric shapes with smooth, clean surfaces and a combination of cold colors," says Manuel Fredebrecht of his design. Resembling crescent moons, the sterling silver earrings are crafted by hand. Glowing Andean opal adds a distinct touch of elegance.

"Beautiful"





The earrings were beautifully crafted, the design so lovely. The modern vive will be long cherished by me. Added bonus and one of the reasons I bought them is that the opal is my birthstone. They are too long for me, but I will wear them anyway,

"Disappointed"





I ordered these unusual earrings for a friend and Im going to return them. The silver bottoms are extremely thin and have a weird shadow near the bottom. I thought they might need polish but that didnt help. I wanted to love them but sadly theyre going back.

"Modern Holes dangle earrings, Not real Opal"





These are very pretty earrings but, dont appear to be real opal. It looks like opaline (I dont if I spelled that correctly). I thought I would be getting white opal stones but,looks like opaline instead which luckily I like. I was hoping to add to my opal collection but, it was not to be. I will keep them because, I think they are well made and I like the design and small size and like I said I do like opaline. Even though not real opal I will wear very often. If you want real opal these are not the earrings for you. But, if youre like me you will like the opaline and its neutral enough to go with everything.

"Fun and beautiful!"





I love the peek-through onyx on the silver. They are just the right size/length. I know these will be my go to earrings for years to come.
