Have you ladies ever heard about this gem? It a lovely soft pink opal and very feminine. I love all kind of gems but this one is special for me. It's found in my homeland.

If you have it tell me about it.

Yes! I bought the last pair of these studs. They have (8) white zircon accents in the corners and (4) pink tourmalines in the gallery. The opal stones are 6mm. They are beautiful! I can't wait to get these home! This is my first Peruvian pink opal purchase.

@Margui

Are you from Peru? I learned to speak Spanish from a teacher who married a Peruvian from high up in the Andes. He has some beautiful pictures of Peru.

@SilleeMee : Beautiful studs! Mine are the flower earrings (the photo is on muy other post). I bought another pair on Etsy couple of years ago. Unfortunately, the color on those are not even. I may change the gems. Opals are not cheap.

Those flower earrings are so pretty. Did you say that your homeland is Peru? That country has been on my bucket list forever and a day. Someday ...

@SilleeMee : Yes, I'm Peruvian, but I have not been there since 2010. I hope soon. I'm from Lima, the capital which is in the coast, not in the Andes region.

Beautiful! I'm like many of you in that I love gemstones. I'd rather have a gemstone than a diamond. I think diamonds are boring.

I keep telling my girls that they must remember all of the jewelry with gemstones are real. It's hit or miss with the diamonds....many are Diamonique...

Anyway, I have a few pink opals but they aren't as beautiful as the one's posted. They're lighter pink.

I have quite a few green opals. Some are very large. I'm so afraid my girls will think they're fake because they are large...they're not.

I used to buy expensive jewelry and my late husband used to give me expensive jewelry. But as my girls got older, they said they weren't interested in wearing any of it (I like ....big jewelry and I wear a size 10 & 11 (like my feet) Ha!

@Margui You have exquisite taste. I love looking at gemstone jewelry.

Are any of you ladies in the same boat as me? I mean my daughters and granddaughters aren't interested in my jewelry.

They used to visit and come out of the bedroom wearing every piece they could fit on their little bodies. So funny, so many cute pictures.

I like for everything to match (i.e. shoes, clothes, jewelry color, etc).

I don't care for the color pink so I don't wear it much. But I've had trouble coming up with the color pink (jewelry). I've looked at these pictures several times.

Thanks for posting the 'eye candy'. I love the color.

@SilleeMee El gusto es mio ( Nice to meet you, too ) But you should put Encantada (in your case) de conocerte. Spanish language and its genders.

@Annabellethecat66 : Opals are expensive and delicate. It's sad that your daughters and granddaughters are not interest in the jewelry. Those green opals can be an investment because they are rare. Appraised them.

@SilleeMee : Don't worry. My English is not good either. It improved but is far from perfect. I came here in my late teens, not as a little girl. I have an accent and I want to reduce it, a little bit, but my husband told me not to change my accent; it's part of you.

Re: Peruvian Pink Opal

Annabellethecat66 — Thu, 02 May 2019 22:04:54 GMT

@Margui I know they're expensive, I used to buy them. Luckily, my girls aren't stupid so I'm sure they'll do the right thing one day.

You said it was from your homeland. Would that be Peru? I don't know anyone from there. I have friends from various countries, but none from there.

Do you ever get to go back to visit? You've sparked my curosity. I love talking to people and hearing about their homeland.

Take care.

@Margui

I was born in Japan. My mother is Japanese and spoke with a heavy accent, so much so that many people could not understand her when she spoke English. I was the person to 'translate' what she would say, but I speak no Japanese. My father is Brooklyn-born so I am part Asian.

@Annabellethecat66 @Yes. I'm Peruvian, but I haven't been there since 2010. My parents and siblings are here. But other family members like my aunts, uncles and cousins are living there.

Are you from the USA?

@Margui Yes, Virginia.

I had a few pieces and saw the offer on ShopLC and got lost with my place order button. I love Opal and the pink was hard to find. Now I have additional pieces to add to my collection and yes I did pick up those earrings and matching ring!

I love colored gemstones and pink opal is a favorite. I have bought several bead necklaces from Jay King on hsn. The pink hues vary from necklace to necklace and within the necklace. I have a pretty gold ring with a deep pink skinny elongated oval that I think I bought from the q many years ago that has squared off geometric bars coming up from each side, and a sterling silver ring with a lighter color large oval that has a more frilly frame like setting. Love pink opal!

I have 2 very large pink opal rings. I think one is from Jay King. The other has a carved flower design. They are a pale shade of pink. The trouble is they blend perfectly with my skin tone so I don't think they're very noticable. It would be nice if they were darker.
