Impeccably sourced, rare vintage jewelry
victorian diamond and opal pendant necklace
The Story
From the Victorian era, this striking piece stopped us in our tracks. Five white opals with bright play-of-color dance in the light as the piece moves. At the center is the largest of the oval cabochon cut opals measuring 11mm x 9mm. The other 4 opals at the NSEW points measure between 6mm x 4.5mm to 5.25mm x 4.25mm. Alternating between each are 4 Old Mine Cut Diamonds, each approximately 0.12 carats for a total diamond weight of approximately 0.48 carats. The old cut diamonds and the colorful opals come together to create a show-stopping piece.
The body of the piece is 14k gold vermeil (14k gold topped silver). The bale at the top is 14k rose gold and it hangs on a new F&B 18-inch 14k rose gold chain.
