The most striking pair of antique Silver Opal earrings we have ever had the pleasure of keeping in our collection!
The attention to detail is next to none, a true testament to the skilled jeweller who created these stunning antique earrings a century ago. With intricate patterns dancing the border of each Opal and extending around onto the reverse... what a treat!
Each gemstone is uniquely different with hints of the rainbow flashing through a pink haze, as though they have been carved from the depths of a Northern night sky.
