Sea Opal Earrings

The beautiful vintage glass ovals featured in these earrings exemplify the talents of mid-century Czech glassmakers.

Bohemian glassmakers were the first to develop methods for press-molding glass buttons in the early 19th century. They began with solid colored glass, and then, as their skills grew, started producing multi-colored stones (like these ones) to mimic gems like opals.
