About the Item

A Russian opal and diamond heart pendant, the heart-shaped opal set to the centre of an old brilliant-cut diamond cluster surround, the eleven diamonds estimated to weigh a total of 2 carats, all to a heart-shaped border set with fourteen cabochon-cut opals, estimated to weigh a total of 3.8 carats, all mounted in yellow gold with an opal-set pendant loop, bearing Russian gold hallmarks 56 zolotniks (14ct gold), St. Petersburg, circa 1880, measuring approximately 2.5 x 2.3cm, gross weight 12.8 grams. This antique pendant is in fine condition for its age. A suburb and romantic Russian pendant. This pendant is in the shape of a heart, with three layers. The outer later is a heart-shaped boarder of cabochon opals, the inner layer is a heart-shaped border of sparkling old-cut diamonds, and the centre of the pendant is a heart-shaped opal. The opal is exquisite, catching the light with flashes of pastel pink, baby blue, and pale yellow. All the stones are set to yellow gold, which adds warmth to the soft glow of the opals and diamonds. This beautiful pendant 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 and would look lovely hung from a gold chain. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
