Vintage 1980s 9ct Yellow Gold Large Opal Pendant Necklace

A beautiful vintage opal pendant necklace dating to 1984, crafted in 9ct yellow gold and featuring a generously sized oval natural opal in an elegant, decorative setting.

The pendant showcases a large oval cabochon-cut opal, displaying a soft, milky white body colour with captivating play-of-colour. Delicate flashes of blue, green, violet and hints of warm orange and yellow shimmer across the stone, creating a beautiful iridescent effect that changes with the movement of light.

The opal is securely held in a polished yellow gold bezel setting, complemented by an attractive openwork scroll design above the stone. The symmetrical scrolling details lend the pendant a graceful, slightly romantic character, typical of decorative jewellery from the period.

Suspended from an 18-inch 9ct yellow gold curb-link chain, this lovely vintage necklace makes an elegant statement piece, equally suited to everyday wear or special occasions.

Both the pendant and chain are fully hallmarked for 1984, providing a confirmed date for this charming vintage piece.

The vintage jewellery box is for display purposes only and is not included in the sale.
