Earrings, Oscar Betz, Pink, Opal, Hallmark, 2164

PRETTY IN PINK!

Despite their large scale, Betz’ earrings are easy to wear and perfectly balanced, and always set with a beautiful mix of stones. Prolific in the ’70s and ’80s, Oscar’s pieces are now actively sought out and purchased by Hollywood celebrities, including Liz Taylor, 7th Ave. designers, including Ralph Lauren, as well as collectors of fine Southwest jewelry. His work remains in high demand today. 

Everything that comes from Betz’s bench is beautiful and worth owning, but these outside-the-box hoops are one of Oscar's more exquisite creations if you ask us! The unique silhouette showcases an unexpected arrangement of beautiful pink opal stones in a variety of shapes with a sterling silver rope detail. Simply stunning!
