9Ct Gold Opal Stud Earrings

There's a lovely honesty to a simple pair of opal studs that has already lived a little. Preloved and worn before, these rounded stones have caught the light on someone else's ear — and they're ready to become an easy, everyday favourite for anyone who likes their jewellery quiet, warm and full of character.

We'll always speak up for 9ct gold: durable, warmly toned and splendid value, it's a metal that's far too often overlooked. Here it plays a gentle supporting role, a plain polished surround holding a domed round opal in a smooth rub-over setting, on post-and-butterfly studs that sit low and comfortable under hair, hats and headphones. Opal is October's birthstone, each cabochon milky and softly colour-shifting, so every stone is a little different. The neutral tone slips happily alongside both yellow gold and mixed metals. Each pair is authenticated and professionally restored in our Birmingham workshop.
