Circa 1900 this exquisite antique Art Nouveau 9ct yellow gold pendant is a transitional Victorian to Edwardian piece and is set with gorgeous natural opal gemstones that have a superb play of colour, they are pastel blue and green and flood with red fire as they move - difficult to capture on camera.
A quality piece (the gold gauge isn't thin and flimsy) the pendant is a warm rosy gold. It is composed in a heart shaped design and carpeted in tiny seed pearls, the heart shaped bale at the top has a little gold bead stopper that keeps it perfectly positioned and prevents it sliding through the connecting loop.
The pendant can be purchased with a new 9ct yellow gold 18"/ 45cm fine curb chain as pictured or you can purchase the pendant alone if you prefer. The chain is stamped '375' for 9ct gold.
Just gorgeous, opals speak of hope and pearls of innocence, a beautiful and sentimental way to connect yourself with early 20th century fashion.
