Large Australian Opal & Diamond Drop Earrings

These gorgeous Opal and Diamond earrings are an estate find bargain sure to please the Opal fanatics out there. The natural Australian Opals are top notch, with a dizzying array of green, orange, and gold hues. Technically we refer to these as crystal Opals since the gems are translucent; it also means that the gems have more color, or fire, inside them. The large Opals (measuring 14x10mm) are suspended from a Diamond stud, giving them a wonderful dangle and presence on the ear.

Details: estate 14k yellow gold earrings set with 4ctw oval Opal (Coober Pedy, Australia) and .15ctw natural Diamonds (SI GH), circa 1980s.
