Sterling Silver Mermaid Dangly Earrings with Opalite. 2" 12g. OOAK

For sale is a pair of silver mermaid earrings with opalite.  These unique earrings are large and dangly.  Each earring features a beautifully detailed mermaid who sits atop a large opalite sphere.  The mermaids perch with their tails curved under the opalite and their hands splayed by their hips.  The opalite spheres have lovely sheen and a slight aqua glow.  Opalite is an old-fashioned form of artificial opal.  These earrings likely date to the 1950s when synthetic opal was limited.  These large earrings dangle from shepherd's hooks and swing freely as you wear them.  

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
