Add a touch of antique romance to your jewelry collection with these beautifully crafted estate earrings.
These exquisite drop earrings are fashioned in solid 14 karat yellow gold and accented with four natural round cabochon opals displaying soft flashes of color. The pair is set with two larger opals measuring approximately 3.88 mm each (estimated 0.20 carats each) and two smaller opals measuring approximately 3 mm each (estimated 0.05 carats each), for a total estimated opal weight of approximately 0.50 carats.
Inspired by late Victorian / Art Nouveau styling, the earrings feature elegant openwork detailing and graceful movement, making them equally suited for everyday elegance or special occasions.
Each earring measures approximately 33.75 mm (1.328 inches) long by 14.89 mm (0.586 inches) wide. Together, the pair weighs approximately 6.1 grams.
The butterfly backs are stamped 14KT. The earrings themselves are unmarked, but they have been professionally acid tested and confirmed as solid 14 karat gold, with no magnetic reaction.
One opal displays a small dark natural line or inclusion visible under close inspection; it does not appear to be a crack. Expected light wear consistent with age; otherwise, these earrings are in good estate condition.
We are currently offering several fine estate jewelry pieces and other treasures fresh from distinguished North Carolina estates, and we are always happy to combine shipping.

We purchase our items primarily at auctions and estate sales.
We purchase from reputable auction houses and dealers, and we test all gems and precious metals. While we are not experts, we try to list each item in as much detail as possible. We cannot describe every tiny nuance; therefore, please use the zoom feature and consider each picture carefully.
All of our jewelry items arrive in a gift box. If you would like a more impressive gift box, we have some available for purchase. If you would like non-jewelry items gift-wrapped, you can purchase gift-wrapping at checkout.
I ship all items the next business day after I receive them. First Class mail generally takes 3-5 business days in the U.S. Priority Mail takes 1-3 days in the U.S. However, please note that it took the US Postal Service 21 days to deliver one First Class package to California. Shipping to other countries can take 2-6 weeks via First Class International. If you need something for a specific date, consider using Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express.
