This Edwardian piece from circa 1900 functions as both a pendant and a brooch, shaped in yellow gold with distinctive whiplash curves, foliate leaf motifs, seed pearls, and a cabochon opal drop. The openwork metalwork holds a central oval cabochon opal framed by millegrain-set settings, accented with smaller seed pearls along the delicate scrollwork and tiny hanging elements. The gold metal gleams with a warm tone, contrasting against the white and iridescent flashes of blue and green within the opals. The reverse shows a horizontal pin fastening alongside a suspension loop. Measuring 35mm x 30mm with a weight of 3.1 grams, the jewel works well pinned to a lapel, scarf, or collar, or suspended from a fine chain around the neck for formal occasions and everyday wear. Stamped with 9CT on the reverse, the item arrives cleaned and ready for use in a contemporary wardrobe.

FAQs

Jewellery from the circa 1900 period features fluid whiplash curves, openwork foliate designs, and lightweight metal settings. Pieces from this era frequently incorporate seed pearls, opals, and delicate yellow gold filigree.

Craftsmen during this period commonly utilised 9ct or 15ct yellow gold along with gemstones such as opals, seed pearls, and peridots. Metalwork was typically finished by hand with openwork scrollwork and bezel settings.

Authentic items from this era usually bear British hallmarks indicating gold purity, such as 375 for 9ct gold, along with maker stamps. Construction details like light hand-engraving and period-appropriate brooch pin or bale fittings also confirm authenticity.

An antique opal and pearl pendant can be suspended from a fine gold chain to complement modern minimal necklines or layered alongside contemporary fine necklaces. Dual-purpose brooch pendants can also be pinned directly onto jacket lapels or scarves.

Opals and seed pearls are delicate materials that require non-abrasive care. Avoid immersion in liquid, ultrasonic cleaners, or exposure to harsh chemicals, cleaning instead with a dry soft cloth and storing away from direct sunlight.
