Victorian Antique Micro Mosaic Brooch 'Doves of Pliny' 15ct Rose Gold c1880s

Very Unique Antique Earrings and a True Rarity These Circa 1920s earrings are set with synthetic Corundum ‘imitating Alexandrite’ and colourless paste. The 1920s places them very early in the era of ‘colour-change’ creation (please continue reading to learn about their history). They are crafted in 10ct Rose Gold and they are unusual because the clips open at the front of the setting. These settings are typical of the 1920s and called ‘Dormeuse’, or sleeper in the French language. The style was constructed with a back-to-front ear wire so that they can be worn by day and are comfortable when asleep. They were popular in the mid 19th to earlier 20th centuries.

Words cannot describe this stunning pendant. It features a massive, solid Australian Opal mined in Queensland. The Opal displays play of colours red, blue and green with red flashes from both the front and back of the stone. This is a 'shy' Opal though, so it needs light to display its full beauty. The Opal measures approx 4.5cm x 2.3cms and is set in 14ct Yellow Gold with a Natural Diamond at the base of the bale. The Diamond is very good quality and graded colour G and clarity SI2 by the appraiser. It weighs approximately .07ct. The bale is large so it can accommodate a very thick chain as depicted in the photos. Please note: the chain is NOT included in this sale and is for display purposes only. The pendant comes with an Australian Valuation Certificate with a Retail Replacement Value of A$13,490. You will not find another Solid Opal Pendant...
