Pair of triplet opal drop earrings with 7mm x 5mm oval stones, bezel set in gold plated sterling silver. Every opal is hand-selected, so colours and pattern differ from the photo.

These drop earrings pair a polished teardrop-shaped top with a small oval triplet opal that hangs just below it, joined by a neat little connecting link. Each oval stone measures 7mm x 5mm and sits in a smooth bezel setting, where a thin band of metal wraps around the edge of the opal to hold it securely. The earrings sold as a pair, in gold plated sterling silver.

A triplet opal is made from a thin slice of natural opal, backed with a dark layer and capped with clear quartz or glass. The cap gives the opal a domed, glossy surface and protects the slice beneath. Triplets are known for their bright flashes of play of colour against a dark background, which makes them a lively, lightweight and practical choice for everyday earrings.

Every opal is hand-selected and unique, so the colours and pattern of the stones you receive will differ from those in the photo. We choose each pair with care to match as closely as possible.
