Antique 2.90ct Opal 0.25ct Ruby and 15ct Yellow Gold Pendant / Brooch Circa 1900

1900 - 1920
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 2.90 carat opal, 0.25 carat ruby and 15 carat yellow gold floral pendant / brooch; part of our diverse antique jewellery and estate jewelry collections.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique 1900s antique pendant has been crafted in 15ct yellow gold.

The pierced decorated, six-petalled floral design displays a central feature claw set ruby, encircled with six millegrain decorated collet set pear shaped cabochon opals.

Each opal petal bears a collet set ruby to the incurve, completing the central floriated design.

The stellate-shaped, interlacing outer circumference of the pendant frame is further embellished with twelve circular-shaped cabochon opals, each pavé set to emanating terminals.

This Victorian ruby and opal pendant suspends from a contemporary 9ct yellow gold 18' chain via a detachable tapering bale to the upper border of the design; this bale bears a further impressive pavé set cabochon opal.

The chain secures with a conventional spring-loaded bolt ring fastening.

This versatile pendant may also be worn as a brooch via a hinged pin and clasp to the reverse.

The pendant has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 15ct gold.

This impressive antique opal pendant / brooch is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card.

This pendant is an elegant gift for birthdays - particularly October and July - anniversaries, or romantic milestones, combining personal significance with refined beauty.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This stunning antique pendant / brooch is exceptional quality, set with impressive opals displaying a scintillating play of colour.

The impressive rubies display fine colour and brilliance.

The pendant is an exceptional gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive opal and ruby floral pendant in gold.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Jewellery from circa 1900 often reflects the transition between late Victorian sentimentality and Edwardian elegance. Popular motifs included celestial starbursts, flora, and geometric clusters, frequently crafted in high-carat gold or platinum with intricate claw and grain settings.

Pieces from this era were typically constructed from 15ct or 18ct yellow gold and platinum. Gemstones such as natural white opals, rubies, sapphires, and seed pearls were chosen for their colour contrast and play-of-light properties.

Authentic British pieces from around 1900 often carry a 15 or .625 hallmark stamp, a gold purity standard used in the UK until 1932. Additionally, hand-finished gemstone settings and original folding bail attachments are indicators of period craftsmanship.

Convertible pieces offer versatility, functioning as a pendant when suspended from a gold chain or as a brooch pinned to coat lapels, scarves, or velvet ribbons. When not worn, these items are often displayed inside glass-topped velvet jewellery trays on dressing tables.

Opals are delicate gemstones that require protection from extreme temperature changes, moisture, and harsh chemicals. Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and store the piece separately to prevent harder gemstones from scratching the opals.
