Vintage Black Opal Bezel Stud Earrings – 14K Yellow Gold, Mid-Century Conversion
These luminous vintage earrings feature natural Australian black opals, bezel-set in sculptural 14k yellow gold with a fluid bypass design. Originally crafted as mid-century screw-back clip-ons (circa 1950s–60s), they’ve been expertly converted into modern stud earrings—retaining their bold elegance while offering contemporary comfort.
The opals are rich in play-of-color, with flashes of electric blue, violet, green, and magenta dancing across their dark, inky base. Each stone is shaped into a smooth asymmetrical teardrop cabochon, angled just slightly outward to enhance their organic, artistic flow. The solid gold bezels provide warmth and structure, balancing the opals’ ethereal brilliance with vintage craftsmanship.
