Description

These earrings are shaped like fine pendulums and impress with their clear, balanced design. Two opals are set one below the other and unfold their characteristic play of colors when they move. The stones show vibrant reflections in green, blue and pink, which change depending on the incidence of light and create the impression of depth and luminosity. The Roman naturalist Pliny described the opal as a gemstone that combines "the fire of the carbuncle, the purple of the amethyst and the green of the emerald" - a diversity that is also visible in the stones used here. The opals are set in restrained silver, which leaves room for the bright colours and emphasizes the fine lines of the pendulum shape. The pair impresses with its simple elegance and the lightness with which it is worn. We discovered the earrings in London. We date them to around 1920.
