Antique Gold Boulder Opal Enamel & Diamond Cufflinks and Stickpin Set

Exceptionally Rare Antique 14K Gold Boulder Opal Enamel & Diamond Cufflinks and Stickpin Set

A remarkable survivor of early gentlemen’s high jewelry, this antique set comprises a pair of cufflinks and a matching stickpin, all crafted in rich 14K yellow gold and centered with mesmerizing boulder opal cabochons. Each opal displays dramatic flashes of electric green, blue, and red across a dark body tone, creating a vivid play-of-color that shifts beautifully with every movement.

The opals are framed by a hand-applied enamel border in deep green and warm brown tones, echoing the natural matrix of the stones and lending the pieces a distinctly artistic, almost painterly character. Four bezel-set diamonds punctuate each oval at the cardinal points, adding refined sparkle and emphasizing the symmetry of the design.

The reverse reveals solid 14K gold construction with sculptural curved links and “bean” backs on the cufflinks, along with carefully hand-assembled settings—details that speak to traditional bench craftsmanship rather than later mass production. Complete, original sets of men’s jewelry combining boulder opal, enamel, and diamond are exceptionally rare; most ensembles have long since been separated or altered. The survival of this suite in such beautiful condition strongly suggests a special commission for a sophisticated client and makes it an outstanding opportunity for the serious collector.

A bold, characterful set that brings color, texture, and true rarity to any formal wardrobe.
