Pair of triplet opal stud earrings with 6mm round stones in swirl-shaped sterling silver bezel settings. Every opal is hand-selected and unique, so colours and pattern differ from the photo.

These stud earrings pair a 6mm round triplet opal with a sterling silver setting that curves into a soft swirl. Each stone sits in a smooth bezel, with the metal wrapping right around the edge of the opal, and a small flick of decorative metalwork at the top gives the design a graceful, flowing outline.

A triplet opal is made from a thin slice of precious opal, backed with a dark base and capped with a clear layer of quartz or glass. The cap gives the stone a glassy, domed look and protects the delicate opal beneath, while the dark backing helps bring out the opal's play of colour, the shifting flashes of spectral colour that make opal so captivating.

Every opal is hand-selected and unique, so the colours and pattern of the stones you receive will differ from those in the photo. This style is part of our standard range, and each pair is set with opals chosen by hand at Umoona Opal Mine & Museum in Coober Pedy.
