Phenomenal vintage teardrop earrings with glossy pear-shaped opals perfectly complemented by a halo of diamonds descending on a knife-edge bar from a larger diamond terminal on the post. The diamonds (approaching a carat in total) are bright and brilliant, while the opals are super fiery with an excellent play of colour, predominantly flashing green with blue and peach undertones.

• Size: 2.5cm total drop. The opals measure approximately 8 x 5mm and the diamonds approx 1.5-2mm diameter, with a larger 3mm diamond at the top.

PLEASE NOTE! All items are vintage or antique and as such show light general wear appropriate to their age. Bear in mind photos are very magnified and flaws which can be seen in the pictures are often imperceptible to the naked eye in real life. I always do my very best to point out any additional flaws, but please look carefully at all the photos as they are an important part of the listing - and do ask if you have any questions!
