In the traditional silversmithing village of Celuk - on the island of Bali - jewelry is exquisitely handcrafted - using unique and painstakingly detailed techniques - which are passed down through families for generations. Paradiso has worked closely for two decades with small families in this village. As each piece is entirely hand-fabricated - no two are exactly identical; each is an individual work of art. These stunning sterling silver opal drop earrings beautifully showcase the technique of ?granulation? for which the artisans of Bali are most revered. Each of the tiny silver balls surrounding the opal gemstone is individually crafted and affixed. The delicate placement of even one tiny ball would be a tremendous challenge to even the most highly skilled western metal smith! Each earring hangs from a hand-formed locking sterling wire - with a circle of granulation framing a dazzling opal gemstone. Opal is the birthstone for OctoberChoose a Native Leaf Jewelry Bag to make your gift extra special!
