Antique Victorian opal buttercup drop earrings 9 carat gold

Metal: 9 carat gold, tested
Gemstone: Opal cabochon x2 7x5.5mm
Drop: 26mm
Weight: 2.2g pair
A classic pair of buttercup set opal drop earrings. The opals are wonderful displaying the full spectrum of colour but particularly vivid greens. The gold is a slightly warm colour typical of antique 9ct gold.
I suspect they have had later replacement hooks added at some point in their history. Otherwise the condition is excellent!
