Forever & Always a Pair - Love Opal Gemstone Double Drop Earring

Description
Handcrafted in 18 karat Yellow Gold, this Opal Drop Stud earring symbolizes Love and makes a perfect addition to your earring stack. Forever & Always a Pair: perpetually, and unceasingly bound. We have many pairs in our lives: our mothers, our fathers, our children, our best friends, our soul mates. There is no such thing as the “perfect pair” but some pairs just feel right together and are destined to be matched for eternity; Forever & always a Pair.

On the side, are our FoundRae hallmarks. There is a symbolic language of hallmarking. The first mark is the maker (Who). In our case, we have our FR triangle which is a registered hallmark. The 2nd and 3rd marks typically speak to the content (What). Not only do we have 750 which indicates that it is 18k gold, and we also have our True Love Knot. The last mark is the Date Letter. It’s a standard set by the London Assay Office. For 2022, the symbol is the letter “X"

Opal Care Instructions

Avoid immersing in water or contact with water in general to avoid cracking and discoloration. Avoid direct contact of these opals with liquid chemicals like perfumes, soaps, cleaning products, lotion, and cosmetics. Avoid extreme changes of temperature. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner or steamer.

To clean, wipe with a soft, dry, microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, dirt, residue, and oils. Wear over clothing to avoid direct contact with the skin. Remove when exercising and doing manual labor to avoid chipping/damaging of opals.

If the opals accidentally become wet, simply dry the opal with a soft microfiber cloth/tissue and let the stone air dry naturally for 24 to 48 hours. Any absorbed water will leave the stone and its play of color should be restored to its previous state without any cracking.

When it comes to storing your opal colorful jewelry, or even removing it at the day’s end, be sure to always store them in a dark place such as a jewelry box. Since opals naturally come from dark areas, keeping them away from direct sunlight will enhance its longevity and provide you with much more style. The shine and vibrancy won’t wear, and that sparkle won’t die down either. Since there is a bit of water in the stones, they are somewhat alive and need to be cared for properly to keep them thriving.

It’s those pairs we choose to keep; friends, lovers, family, chosen family, a part of our heart forever. We might not be together, but we are changed-it’s not time, it’s impact. Fused in our hearts. Forever and always, perpetually, and unceasingly bound.
