Solid White Opal and 9ct Gold Pendant, on 9ct Gold Chain, 50cm, 6g total weight
This amazing solid white opal is just filled with fire. Her face is just filled with reds, greens, yellows and oranges, and even on the edges you can see the orange and red glistening away. The opal measures 15.5mm x 14mm and is in amazing condition. You can see by the state of the claws and the face of the opal that this beauty was only worn for special occasions. With a hand carved fern of 9ct gold down one edge, we see this pendant, as the ultimate antipodean pendant incorporating the fern of NZ and the natural opals of Australia.
The chunky bail is hallmarked with "9ct" and it is clear this was lovingly handmade over 50 years ago to fit this amazing stone.
The 9ct gold curb chain is 1.4mm wide and 50cm in length and is a newer made piece. that we have added to the pendant, so you can wear her immediately.

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
