15ct Gold Heart Shaped Pendant set with an Opal

437R
617 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

The opal in this heart shaped pendant is quite large and is a glorious mixture of bright flashes of pure apple green, blue and red. Because opal has the colours of other gems, the Romans thought it was the most precious and powerful of all. The Bedouins believed that opals contained lightning and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. When Australia’s mines began to produce opals commercially in the 1890s, it quickly became the world’s primary source for this October birthstone. The opal is framed in 15ct gold with a 15ct gold bale that you can easily slide a slim chain through. It is hard to put an exact date on when this pendant was made but I think around 1950-1960. if you love opals this is a really good example
