Like a miniature sculpture, its carved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/opal\/\">opal<\/a> petals catch the light, flashing iridescent rainbow hues across a pearlescent surface that seems to pulse with fiery energy.

I believe it was made in the U.S., as it doesn\u2019t have any hallmarks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real mystery of this effulgent bloom, however, lies in the craftsmanship. Making the piece would have required superlative lapidary skills, as opals are notoriously brittle and difficult to carve. Difficult and risky: Legend has it that Louis XI of France was so upset when his goldsmith cracked a royal opal that he ordered the artisan\u2019s hands to be chopped off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kiyomura prefers to point to more upbeat historical analogues, comparing the sculptural opal brooch to rare Victorian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/cameo-jewelry\/\">cameos<\/a> like those crafted by the famous 19th-century German engraver Wilhelm Schmidt. \u201cSome of the most beautiful cameo carvings were crafted in opals up to 150 years ago. The unique luminescence of the gem adds depth and dimension to the sculpted design in a way that\u2019s very different from, say, an agate cameo carving,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This same dexterous technique \u2014 layering forms to create a light-catching relief \u2014 is evident in the petals of this heritage piece, where each delicate curve and contour plays with light and movement, enhancing the stone\u2019s striking radiance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/brooches\/brooches\/vintage-mid-century-18-karat-carved-opal-diamond-flower-brooch\/id-j_12187672\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-950x647.jpg\" alt=\"pansy brooch on lapel\" class=\"wp-image-430972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-950x647.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-514x350.jpg 514w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-120x82.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-768x523.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch-1371x933.jpg 1371w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/opalpansybrooch.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The iridescence of opals is especially striking against dark colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Slightly smaller than a business card, the gemstone flower is no shrinking violet (although pansies do belong to the <em>Viola<\/em> genus).
