Doublet Opal Oval Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver · Style 801

Doublet Opal Oval Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver · Style 801

Pair of oval doublet opal stud earrings in sterling silver, with 9mm x 7mm stones. Each opal is hand-selected, so colours and pattern will differ from the photo.

These oval stud earrings are set with doublet opals, each framed in a smooth sterling silver bezel. The slim rim of metal wraps around the edge of every stone, giving a clean, simple outline that suits both everyday wear and dressing up. The stones measure 9mm x 7mm.

A doublet opal is a thin slice of natural opal fixed onto a dark backing. The backing strengthens the slice and deepens the background, which is why doublets are known for lively play of colour: flashes of colour that shift as the stone moves in the light. Because a doublet is a slice of opal on a backing, it is not a solid opal.

Every opal is hand-selected and unique. The colours and pattern of the stones you receive will differ from those in the photo, so each pair has its own character. This piece comes from Umoona Opal Mine & Museum in Coober Pedy, South Australia.
