Handcrafted October birthstone stud earrings made from solid 375 9ct yellow gold and set with genuine ethiopian opal gemstones
These Ethiopian opal stud earrings are crafted from solid 9ct yellow gold and set with genuine cabochon cut Ethiopian opal gemstones, creating a luminous play of colour in a warm yellow gold finish. Designed in a classic round claw setting, each 4.00mm smooth cabochon stone is secured to allow maximum light to enhance its natural iridescence.
The warmth of 9ct yellow gold beautifully complements the glowing body colour of Ethiopian opal, creating an elegant yet eye catching everyday earring. With a lightweight feel at approximately 0.60g, they are comfortable for daily wear while still offering captivating colour and movement.
Ethiopian opal is often associated with creativity, inspiration, and emotional clarity, and is a traditional birthstone for October, making these earrings a meaningful October birthday gift or special keepsake. Genuine Ethiopian opal can display a wide spectrum of colours within a single stone. You may see flashes of electric blue, green, orange, pink, red, or violet depending on the light. The base tone can range from milky white and creamy translucent to honey, pale golden, or crystal clear with internal fire. Natural inclusions, internal patterns, and slight differences in brightness or colour play are completely normal and part of what makes each opal unique.
As cabochon cut stones, the smooth domed surface enhances the opal’s depth and rolling flashes of colour rather than sharp facets. Each pair is carefully selected so the stones complement one another while still retaining their individual character.
Perfect as 9ct gold Ethiopian opal stud earrings, October birthstone earrings, minimalist opal studs, or classic everyday yellow gold gemstone earrings for her, this design feels timeless yet full of personality.
♡ Style Tip: Let the opal’s fire shine by pairing these studs with soft neutral tones like cream, beige, or light grey, allowing the flashes of colour to catch the light beautifully throughout the day.
