Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

These vintage 1950 stud earrings consist of a matched pair of oval black opal doublets in nine-carat yellow gold settings. Each central stone displays an iridescent play of colour including red, green, and blue flashes, secured within a plain bezel and framed by a decorative rope twist border. The construction combines a smooth inner gold collar with a textured outer moulding, creating a classic mid-century profile. Each piece measures 1.3 cm high by 1.2 cm wide and 1.5 cm deep. Well-suited for daily wear or evening accessorising, these earrings bring a sophisticated splash of colour to formal wear, tailoring, or simple knitwear. They fasten securely to the earlobe and integrate easily into a modern jewellery collection as a versatile, statement-making pair of vintage studs.

FAQs

Opal doublets consist of a thin slice of natural precious opal bonded to a dark backing, which enhances the optical play of colour within the stone.

These pieces are commonly constructed using 9ct or 18ct yellow gold, featuring bezel settings and decorative wirework such as rope twist borders.

Authentic opal doublets exhibit a clear straight join line between the opal layer and dark backing when examined from the profile, set within hallmarked metal mounts.

The multi-coloured flash of black opal pairs naturally with classic gold bands and neutral gemstone studs for a layered ear stack.

Opal doublets should be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth and avoided prolonged immersion in water, as moisture can weaken the adhesive layer.
