Baten 18K Gold Onyx, Diamond & Gemstone Drop Earrings

Vintage 18K Gold Convertible Earrings by B. Baten with Onyx, Diamonds & Colored Gems

These exceptional vintage earrings by B. Baten are crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and designed as convertible earrings, allowing them to be worn either as elegant diamond-and-gold ear clips or with dramatic onyx drops attached for a bolder statement. The earrings are fitted with posts and hinged clip backs, offering added security and comfort while maintaining a refined profile on the ear.

The upper elements feature sculptural gold forms accented with diamonds arranged in refined geometric patterns, providing brilliance and structure when worn alone. When assembled with the lower sections, the earrings transform into articulated drop earrings, with polished black onyx spheres anchoring the design and adding visual weight and depth. Colored gemstone accents—set in carefully framed bezels—introduce subtle flashes of color that enrich the overall composition.

Expertly engineered with smooth articulation and precise fittings, these earrings demonstrate the technical sophistication associated with B. Baten’s work. The convertible construction allows for versatility without compromising elegance, making this pair especially desirable to collectors.

Bold, architectural, and unmistakably vintage, these earrings exemplify late 20th-century gold jewelry at its most expressive—combining versatility, craftsmanship, and strong visual impact.
