About the Item

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 2.81 carat opal and 0.71 carat diamond, silver and 18 karat yellow gold set pendant; part of our antique jewelry collections. This stunning, fine and impressive Victorian pendant has been crafted in silver with 18k yellow gold settings. This pendant displays a central feature yellow gold claw set oval cabochon white opal. The pierced decorated foliated, scrolling frame is embellished with forty pavé and claw set diamonds, in a combination of Old European and eight cuts. The lower border of the pendant supports three individually articulating yellow gold claw set cabochon cut white opals, completing the design. This antique Victorian opal pendant is suspended from an 18ct yellow gold chain via an escutcheon-shaped bale ornamented with four further pavé set diamonds. This antique opal pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 karat gold and silver. This impressive example of Victorian jewelry is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card. This opal and diamond pendant necklace reflects the Victorian admiration for opals, long valued for their mystical beauty and associations with love, hope and creativity. It makes a meaningful gift for anniversaries, birthdays or special celebrations, and is especially thoughtful for October birthdays, as opal is the traditional birthstone for that month. Images do not always reflect the true color and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual color and showcases each stone. Condition The antique pendant is excellent quality, set with stunning opals displaying a scintillating play of color and presence; such opals displaying red tones are highly desirable. The impressive diamonds display a fine white color and brilliance; although clarity graded at P1, the diamonds show fine brilliance. This Victorian opal pendant is an excellent gauge of gold and silver, and is in excellent condition. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine Victorian opal pendant with diamonds.
