Pair of Platinum, Black Opal and Diamond Earclips, Retailed by Harry Winston, Circa 1950

Centered by two black opals measuring approximately 10.8 by 8.8 mm and 10.5 by 8.7 mm, within ribbon scroll surrounds set with numerous round diamonds weighing approximately 3.60 carats, signed Winston.

In good condition overall. The opals have a strong play of color, exhibiting vivid shades of blue, green and lavender and show some crazing. One opal is quite scratched at the surface probably from coming into contact with other jewelry. The 120 round diamonds are approximately H-I color and VS clarity. Signed Winston on an applied plaque attached to the undersides of the bases of the earclip mechanisms.
