Onyx Stud Earrings Small Chinese 22k Gold
Simple, small onyx stud earrings set in high karat 22k gold. This is for the smaller pair of onyx earstuds, 8mm at its widest.
These onyx studs contrasted with their bright yellow prongs are lovely little things. The ‘light reflecting’ etchings on the gold bordering the onyx stones give away its Straits Chinese craftsmanship, fine touches that shimmer the small thing so well.
Such studs have a substantial gold weight compared to the stones, especially when compared to modern jewellery of similar size.
These inexpensive stones were set in different sizes for women of different ages, but always in high karat gold, who wore them throughout their festive lives.
