About the Item
This magnificent 19th-century antique pendant is a testament to the opulence and craftsmanship of the era. Fashioned from 18-karat gold, the pendant features a large, captivating oval opal at its heart, with iridescent colors that shimmer and change with the light. Surrounding the opal is an intricately designed gold frame, rich with detail, where finely crafted acorns and leaves form a natural, luxurious motif. Each tiny acorn and leaf is rendered with exceptional precision, creating a harmonious balance between the organic and the opulent. Just below the pendant’s top, a lustrous pearl dangles gracefully, adding a soft, elegant contrast to the vivid opal and golden frame. This pendant is not merely jewelry but a wearable piece of art, echoing the grandeur and elegance of the 19th century.
Opal is a stone of inspiration, known for its ability to stimulate creativity and enhance imagination. It's often associated with emotional clarity and is believed to bring out the true essence of one's feelings. In various cultures, opal has been regarded as a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. It is also thought to have protective qualities, shielding the wearer from negative energy. The stone's shifting colors are said to reflect the changing emotions and moods of the person who wears it, making it a deeply personal and meaningful gemstone.
With a gross weight of 3.9 grams and dimensions of approximately 50mm in height and 28mm in width, this pendant is a timeless treasure that seamlessly blends antique charm with timeless allure.
