Discover our exquisite doublet opal and seed pearl brooch. The central gemstone features a beautiful opal, radiating green-blue hues set in 9ct yellow gold. Complementing this opalescent wonder, two tiny seed pearls are nestled on either side. Set upon a classic bar brooch, the ensemble perfectly mirrors the Edwardian preference for harmonious designs and ethereal beauty.
An opal is a doublet, which is a composite gemstone where a thin slice of opal is adhered to a backing, often made of black potch, ironstone, or other materials. This backing enhances the opal's color and play-of-light, making it appear more vibrant. The combination also provides added strength to the otherwise delicate opal.
