Edwardian Boulder Opal Necklet Circa 1910-1920s

About the Item

This unique necklet features a fancy link fine chain with evenly spaced bezel set cushion cut early verneuil synthetic sapphires. A double chain drop holds a stunning natural lacquered Australian Queensland Boulder opal fob with a spectacular colour exchange seen from every angle of this beauty. Gemstone: One lacquered boulder opal, rectangular free shape (30mm x 25mm x 4mm average), strong blue, green, orange, red colour spectral exchange, estimated weight 58cts Metal: 15k yellow gold Weight: 16.50 grams Measurements: Chain Length 74cm, chain drop 4.5cm Era: Edwardian Circa 1910-1920s Australian Queensland Boulder Opal is celebrated not only for its visual appeal but also for its connection to the Australian Outback and the unique geological processes that give rise to this beautiful gemstone. They have a vibrant and captivating play-of-colours within. The colours can include a wide range of hues such as blues, greens, reds, and purples, and they can change as you view the opal from different angles. Unlike other opals that are typically cut as cabochons to showcase the entire gem, Boulder Opal is often left with its natural ironstone matrix as part of the finished piece. This matrix provides a unique and earthy contrast to the opal’s colours, making each piece truly one of a kind.
