Antique Edwardian bar brooch featuring a large central oval precious Opal set in a 15ct yellow gold setting. The opal is claw set with a stunning play of colour.
In the Victorian era Opals symbolised fidelity and assurance. Opal is the birthstone for October and the stone is also given on the 14th wedding anniversary.
Precious Opals feature an optical phenomenon called 'play of colour'. It describes how white light is bent and split by the tiny silica spheres which make up the opal. The results are the beautiful colours which can be seen on the surface of the gemstone.
