Theia Studs

Theia is the solitaire stud with a sky in it. A 4mm lab-created opal sits in a four-prong basket of solid 14k gold — a cloud-white stone that flickers green, blue, and pink as you move, the shift gemologists call play-of-color and everyone else calls the reason they keep looking. The architecture is borrowed from the classic diamond stud: four rounded prongs and an open basket that lets light in from the sides, so the color keeps moving even in a dim room. Wear them on their own in a first hole, or as the one soft, shifting stone in a row of gold. Named for Theia, the Titaness of the bright sky — the one the Greeks credited with giving gold and gems their light. Solid 14k yellow gold, lab-created opal, gold push-backs. Sold as a pair. October's birthstone, no birth certificate required.
