These 1960s vintage Modernist drop earrings comprise a pair of 14ct yellow gold stud earrings set with rectangular cabochon opals. The bright yellow gold metal exhibits a polished finish and forms twisted knot tops above vertical rectangular bars. The opals display iridescent white bodies with prominent flashes of green and blue, held securely within four-prong settings. Each earring measures 2.5 cm high, 0.5 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. Suitable for daily wear or evening accessorising, these earrings bring a subtle mid-century design element to contemporary jewellery collections. The secure drop configuration allows the gemstone bars to hang gracefully from the earlobe. The balanced proportions make them appropriate for personal adornment or as a thoughtful gift for enthusiasts of vintage gold jewellery.

FAQs

Opal jewellery gained widespread popularity during the Victorian and Art Nouveau eras, valued for the stones optical phenomena. Drop earrings featuring geometric cabochons mounted in yellow gold retained strong design popularity throughout the mid-20th century.

These earrings are crafted from 14ct yellow gold, featuring rectangular polished opal cabochons held in claw settings attached to decorative post tops.

Authentic vintage pieces feature hallmark stamps indicating gold purity, such as 14K or 585, along with natural variations in the opals internal structure and play-of-colour rather than uniform synthetic patterns.

These drop earrings complement both formal eveningwear and tailored daytime attire, providing a focal point when worn with swept-back hair or minimal additional jewellery.

Opals require gentle care due to their natural moisture content; clean them using a soft damp cloth, avoid chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, and store them away from direct sunlight and heat.
