I’ve always been in love with earrings, so it was no surprise that I sell them for a living. Aside from the ones I make myself, I also offer sterling silver earrings to my customers, particularly ones with lab opals. I am such a sucker for these stones!

Why lab opals? Well, first of all, I want people to know that lab-created gems are not necessarily fake. They may be human-made but they have the same appearance, composition, physical properties, and internal structure as the natural opals. I like lab-created opals better because they are much stronger and more durable and are less expensive.

So I needed a supplier that can provide me with various designs. Good thing, a friend whom I met in a trade show recommended Sidney Imports. This online wholesale jewelry supplier offers a vast range of silver jewelry products, and when I first saw their collection, I was in awe! And yes, they also sell lab opal silver jewelry at such affordable prices.

I immediately fell in love with this supplier that I purchase other silver pieces from them as well, but more for personal use. When I see a particular design of earrings that fits my taste, I buy an extra pair for me.

Here are three of my latest favorite designs from their lab opal earrings collection:

Blue Lab Opal Lightning Stud Earrings

I so love this pair! Simple and subtly edgy, it’s perfect for spicing up a simple shirt and jeans ensemble. Even if they’re small, the earrings are very noticeable because of its shape and the rainbow flashes of the stone. I recommend these earrings to those who want to add some fun vibes to their outfit. Oh, and this design is available in white opal too.

White Lab Opal Tree of Life Drop Earrings

I prefer stud earrings and only a few drop earrings pass my “standards.” This pair of tree of life earrings is one. I love how the trees are framed by the super gorgeous white lab opal. These earrings give off vintage, earthy vibes and are perfect for casual dresses. They have this in blue lab opal too.

Blue Lab Opal Mini Heart Stud Earrings

And my most favorite of the three — these mini heart earrings! They’re cute, feminine, and super flashy; they’re perfect for all types of outfits. I like the white opal version too, but this blue one, I think, is the more eye-catching pair. Because of their small size, they fit little girls, so they are perfect for mother-daughter twinning.

And there you have it — my three latest favorite lab opal earrings. If you sell earrings like me or any sterling silver jewelry, I highly recommend that you check out SidneyImports.com
