An exquisite Edwardian brooch made in around 1900. This piece features a versatile brooch and pendant fitting, so it can be worn either on a chain or pinned to a garment.

The lively diamonds provide an elegant complement to the central opal. This beautiful piece comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
