FAQs

Opals gained immense popularity during the late 19th century, heavily favoured by Queen Victoria and incorporated into intricate gold, diamond, and pearl mountings.

Brooches from this period were predominantly forged in 15ct or 18ct yellow gold, using claw and bezel settings to display natural gemstones, seed pearls, and diamonds.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct findings such as C-clasps or tube hinges, hand-cut gemstones, closed or openwork collet settings, and Victorian maker or fineness hallmarks.

Pendant brooches can be worn attached to a gold chain as a statement necklace or pinned to lapels, scarves, and high-collared blouses for a refined vintage accent.

Opals and pearls are sensitive to chemicals and moisture; they should be wiped gently with a soft dry cloth and stored away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity changes.
