These earrings twinkle and sparkle with life: a marquise cut tanzanite sits at the top, its blue/violet depths shifting with the light, suspending a luminous Andamooka opal that flickers with color at every turn of the head. A cool, unexpected conversation,  the tanzanite's clear violet against the opal's shadowy, shifting play. Tanzanite, found in only one place on earth, is prized for its rich blue/violet color that seems to change as it moves. Below it, Andamooka opal,  from the historic South Australian fields is celebrated for its shifting play of color. Because each opal is entirely its own, every pair tells a different story; no two are ever quite alike.
