Estate 14K Yellow Gold 1.15CTW Pear-Shaped Opal & Diamond Halo Stud Earrings

Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, these estate cluster earrings from the 1980's each feature a pear shaped cabochon opal measuring approximately 7.09 x 5.03mm, the pair totaling approximately 0.90 tcw. Each opal is framed by eighteen round brilliant cut diamonds, thirty-six in all, totaling approximately 0.25 tcw, G-H color and SI2-I1 clarity. Each earring measures 3/8 inch, with a total weight of 2 grams for the pair. They are secured with posts and friction backs. Stamped 14K.

Opal is known for its play-of-color, the flashes of green, blue, and violet that move across the stone as light diffracts through its internal structure of tiny silica spheres. In these earrings, the cool tones of the opals are bordered by a bright ring of diamonds that follows the pear shape, adding sparkle around each stone. Because opal is softer than many gemstones, these earrings are best worn with care and kept away from hard knocks, household chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners.

With their classic cluster design and comfortable everyday size, these earrings are a lovely addition for collectors of vintage gold jewelry. Opal is a traditional October birthstone, making this pair a thoughtful gift for an autumn birthday.
