14k Yellow Gold Australian Opal Earrings. Dangly Buttercups!

For sale is a pair of 14k yellow gold Australian Opal flower Earrings.  The earrings are beautifully crafted antiques from the Arts and Crafts era in the early part of the 1900s.  Each earring features a round, domed opal that is set at the center of a gold flower.  These are exceptionally colorful opals.  In the sunlight, the opals flash with wonderful, swirling fire in shades of cherry red, lime green and royal blue, among others.  The opals are beautifully bezel-set, with teeny tiny milgrain edging.  Each flower petal has engraved texture and tiny scalloped edges.  The back of each earring is a deep gold basket.  The flowers dangle from a hinged gold ball stud, and fasten with 14k butterfly backs.  These are lovely, dangly antique opal earrings that will sway and catch the light as you wear them.

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