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,
