Edwardian 15ct Gold & Silver, Large Opal & Diamond Brooch

725S
400 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A spectacular opal and diamond brooch that was made around the turn of the 20th century. It is all about the amazing large opal which is a particularly good specimen and displays a myriad of flashing colours, red, green and blue. When Australian opals appeared on the world market in the 1890’s, the Hungarian mines spread the idea that it was not genuine, probably because gems with such brilliant fire had not been seen before. Australia eventually assumed the mantle of premier opal producer of the world, becoming famous for Lightning Ridge’s colourful and rare black and crystal stones. So they were an exciting new stone and became very fashionable in the Edwardian period. The opal is framed with two rows of graduated old mine cut diamonds.

It has been beautifully made and looks glorious when worn!
