Victorian Boulder Opal & Rose Cut Diamond Pendant

This beautiful antique boulder Opal pendant is an unusual find with a mysterious look. The pendant is crafted in British 15k yellow gold, set centrally with an oval Opal with rose cut Diamonds on the compass points. The Opal is a Koroit Boulder Opal, known for a mix of Opal with the host rock, known as matrix. In this case, the matrix has a deep chocolate brown base color, with veins of crystal Opal running through it. The dark color contrasts with the Opal, making the colors pop- red, green, gold, and more. It was very difficult to capture on camera. This reminds us of a dragon’s egg, or lava shining through cracks in the Earth. If you enjoy unusual gemstones and rare Opals, this pendant may be the perfect piece for your collection. It measures just over an inch in total length. Details: antique 15k yellow gold pendant set with approximately 5ct Boulder Opal (Koroit, Australia) and .12ctw round rose cut Diamonds; British c1880s.
