Australian Black Opal Triplet Earrings. Modernist. 925 and Gold-Filled

For sale is a pair of earrings with Australian opal triplets in sterling silver and 14k yellow gold-fill.  The earrings have modernist design.  Each earring is a half-circle of sterling with two bars of gold along the flat edge.  Each earring has an oval opal set at the center of the straight edge.  The opals differ in appearance.  Both are blue with colorful fire.  One is a bright royal blue with cherry red, orange, green and yellow fire.  The second opal is milky, with a light blue color and more subtle flashes of color.  These opals are triplets, which means they are backed in onyx (to deepen and darken their color) and topped with quartz (to protect the opals).  Each opal is bezel-set in sterling.  The earrings hang from shepherds hooks.  These are lovely, stylish earrings with a large presence.

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
