Victorian 18ct Gold, Opal & Diamond Drop Earrings

242X
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A fabulous pair of 18ct gold earrings that were made circa 1860. They have each been set with well matched opals with a higher colour opal in the centre. At that time opals were hard to come by so these earrings are a comparative rarity. There is much attention to detail with tiny rose diamonds that form claws around the opals. The diamonds have also been specially cut in to pear shapes around the central clusters. There are three spear shaped drops that have also been set with old mine cut diamonds and rose diamonds.

Rare and utterly beautiful.
