Overview:
Finely detailed vintage freeform opal & diamond pendant (& brooch) crafted in 14 karat yellow gold (circa 1970s).

The opal is freeform cut with the mount custom created to fit the opal. The opal exhibits a fiery play of colors from green to orange, yellow, purple, red, turquoise and blue. The pendant is also fitted with a pin backing for wear as a brooch. The piece has a substantial feel (weighing 13.4 grams). A great example of 1970s jewelry with a distinct abstract design.
The pendant is in very good condition. We have not cleaned it in order to preserve the patina and collector value.
