Description

This memorising Antique Opal necklace features two of the most spectacular Natural Opals we've ever had, set in 9ct gold on a 9ct gold chain. These opals are breathtaking, with the smaller opal measuring 1.07ct (approx) and the immense drop opal measuring a huge 6.27ct (approx).

Opal is considered the birthstone for October and is thought of as a stone of luck and communication. Natural Opals in this size with as much colour are fire as this is very rare and extremely sought after.

This necklace is a must-have for any serious jewellery collector.

CONDITION

This Vintage Opal pendant necklace is in very good condition. Although the chain is light, the links remain free from damage and wear. All the stones are secure and show breathtaking colours as they catch the light; there is a tiny graze on the top of the large opal, which is only noticeable very close up at certain angles, but I don't think it takes away from the quality of this wonderful necklace.

Date of Manufacture

Lancastrian Jewellers has dated this Edwardian Opal Gold Pendant to the Edwardian era.

FAQs

Edwardian jewellery, spanning the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by delicate craftsmanship, the popularisation of platinum settings alongside yellow gold, and a strong preference for ethereal gemstones like opals, pearls, and diamonds.

Pendants from this era frequently utilised 9ct or 15ct gold, sterling silver, and platinum settings. Natural gemstones such as opals, peridots, andamethysts were commonly set as central stones, often accented with seed pearls.

Authentic pieces typically feature period-appropriate hallmarks indicating metal purity, handcrafted settings with intricate gallery work, and signs of age-appropriate wear on the metal and soft gemstones.

While personal jewellery is worn rather than placed in an interior, antique pieces can be displayed on a vanity tray, inside a glass-topped table case, or hung on a decorative stand as a focal art object.

Opals are softer and contain water, making them sensitive to sudden temperature changes, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. They should be stored away from direct sunlight and cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth.
