Andean Blue and Pink Opal in Sterling Silver Settings
Peruvian opal occurs in two primary varieties: blue opal from the Andes mountain regions and pink opal found near Acari. Unlike fire opals or precious opals with play-of-color, Peruvian stones display a solid, milky appearance with subtle color gradients. The blue ranges from pale sky tones to deeper teal, while pink varieties show soft rose to peachy hues. Both types often contain natural matrix inclusions that create organic patterns within each stone. We source these opals from established Peruvian suppliers and set them in .925 sterling silver at our workshop. The metal's cool tone complements the pastel character of these stones without competing for attention. Each piece ships with a quality guarantee and arrives in protective packaging. SilverRush Style has offered natural gemstone jewelry since 2005. Our Peruvian opal collection includes statement rings, drop earrings, link bracelets, and layering pendants at various price points. Take your time exploring the selection to find pieces that fit your style and budget.What makes Peruvian opal different from other opals?
Peruvian opal lacks the rainbow play-of-color seen in Australian precious opal. Instead, it displays solid pastel blue or pink coloring with an opaque to translucent appearance. The color comes from trace minerals in Peru's copper-rich deposits.
Is Peruvian opal durable enough for daily wear?
With a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, Peruvian opal is softer than quartz but holds up in earrings, pendants, and rings with protective bezel settings. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals.
How should I clean Peruvian opal jewelry?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking in water for extended periods, as opal can absorb moisture and change appearance over time. Store pieces separately to prevent scratching from harder gems.
