A mid-20th century opal and diamond drop earrings
About the Item
A mid-20th century opal and diamond drop earrings, each earring with a pear-shaped cabochon-cut opal, each measuring approximately 22 x 9mm and estimated to weigh a combined total of 6 carats for the pair, each opal claw-set in yellow gold collet suspended within a pear-shaped diamond-set frame, with a flexible diamond set run and a single brilliant-cut diamond-set top, the diamonds estimated to weigh 2.3 carats in total, all mounted in platinum and gold, circa 1955, measuring 5 x 1.6cm, gross weight 11.1 grams.
This vintage pair of earrings is in very god condition for its age. Unmarked, tested as platinum and 18ct gold, with 18ct gold post and scroll fittings.
An elegant pair of earrings featuring bright and arresting opals between scintillating diamond-set frames. These exceptional earrings are on offer at Bentley and Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. These earrings terminate with stunning opal cabochons of a lush green colour. The fresh and verdant green of each opal cabochon is combined with deep blue, specks of bright orange and a light dusting of canary yellow. The combined colours of the opals appear almost like paint swirls on a palette and are truly something to behold. The quality, impressive size and spectacular colour of the opals are a real rarity, making these earrings truly special. The diamond-set frames surrounding the opals add sparkle and highlight the beauty of the central stones. These enchanting earrings would make a wonderful eye-catching accessory and would be perfect paired with a summer dress. Worn with a flowing dress with hair styled up, these dramatic earrings will make everyone’s head turn.
