Vintage Bezel Set Opal & Diamond Pendant

This fabulous vintage pendant is designed around the impressive opal center stone for everyday wear. This Australian opal is known as a “black crystal opal” since the gem is translucent with a dark body color. The play of color seen shimmering on the opal’s surface forms a kaleidoscope of blue, green, and violet hues. The opal is bezel set and suspended from a diamond-accented bail, which is hinged to allow the opal to swing freely and catch the light with a 1-inch drop. Despite featuring an Australian opal, this pendant was sourced from a German estate full of mid-century jewels. This vintage opal pendant is a classic treasure, brimming with vibrant color and charm. Its unique beauty makes it a perfect addition to any jewelry collection.
