Halo Hoop Earrings in Rhodium-Plated Silver with Fire Opal | Rocas & Cristales

Exclusivity & Design — Halo Hoop Earrings with Fire Opal: This pair of hoop earrings in rhodium-plated 925 silver, hand-crafted by Rocas & Cristales in Córdoba, Argentina, sets a faceted oval-cut fire opal of 8 x 6 mm within a halo of cubic zirconia, secured with a post and butterfly clasp. As with every Rocas & Cristales piece, it is a one-of-a-kind work of design: the artisan process begins with the hand selection of each natural stone before it is set in our Córdoba workshop.

Aesthetic Details — Halo Hoop Earrings with Fire Opal: The cubic zirconia halo multiplies its sparkle around the warm orange glow of the fire opal, striking a contrast between cool and warm light against the ear. A timeless design, equally fitting as a gift or as an addition to a personal collection, and one that pairs easily with other pieces in the Rocas & Cristales line.

Craftsmanship & Shipping — Halo Hoop Earrings with Fire Opal: Hand-crafted in Córdoba, Argentina, by Rocas & Cristales, each pair carries our guarantee of quality and ships complimentary to anywhere in the world, arriving in packaging designed to protect the piece in transit and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity as a natural stone.

Natural Stone Properties — Halo Hoop Earrings with Fire Opal: This fire opal is hand-selected from Mexico. Its play of color comes from the refraction of light within microscopic spheres of cristobalite arranged through its structure. Greek myth held that the stone sprang from Zeus's tears of joy after his victory over the Titans, while in India it was linked to the rainbow goddess turned to stone. Its hue, ranging from yellow to orange, brown, and red, comes from trace iron. Resonating with Gemini, fire opal is said to bring earthly joy and stir desire; unlike white or black opal, it does not always display a full play of color, making stones that do, like those selected here, especially prized.
