The intoxicating spectral colors in this opal shimmer with shades of green, yellow, blue, and purple. It’s no wonder the opal is called “The Queen of Gemstones”! The bracelet is 6.5″ in size and was made in the 1950’s. The .7mm pearls and 14kt gold only add to the luster of this remarkable piece.~$1295 #pearls #opal #gemstones #queen #bracelet #louisiana #gift #love #colorful #opaljewelry #antiquestore #barkersjewelry #barkersantiquejewelry #batonrougejewelry

Think of lockets passed down, a pearl replaced into different rings for different weddings, or religious medallions blessed with each birth. Who says you can’t start the same trend with a unique piece of your own choosing?
