Stunning Italian 18K Yellow & Rose Gold Italian Opal Pendant Necklace

$1,425.60

You don't always fall in love with a piece of beautiful jewelry but wait until you see this! Presented is an inspired work of an enormously talented Italian designer and goldsmith. This necklace features a brilliantly fiery and high quality Ethiopian blue teardrop opal in an 18K gold bezel setting This wholly natural stone has wonderful iridescence with flashes of green, pink, and gold. The 18 karat yellow gold mounting has a sweeping loop of rose gold at the top, just for added reflective interest! The pendant hangs by two generous curls from a gorgeous and lustrous 14K white gold striped, yellow gold chain. Look at the photos at maximum size. The chain alone is fabulous, and drapes like silk -- the epitome of luxury!

Did we mention that the opal is of spectacular quality? This stone is not a doublet or a triplet. It is solid opal all the way through. There is no slice of onyx behind it. What you see from the back side is still the natural opal stone itself.

This piece still retains its original price tags. The pendant retailed for $5000. It subsequently went on sale for $3900. The chain was an additional $150 at that time. Our price is much more reasonable for a one-of-a-kind creation of this pedigree.

The chain is marked 14K Italy. The clasp is marked 585 for 14K gold. The pendant is not marked aside from the retail tag which says it is 18K. We have tested both the pendant and the chain and guarantee the pendant to be of 18K gold purity, and the chain and clasp to be 14K gold.

The condition of the entire necklace is excellent. The opal is securely set. The chain is strong and secure. There are no chips, no cracks, no breaks, and no repairs. All of the marks you see on the opal are completely natural to the Ethiopian opal, and are not damages.

The chain is 18 inches long. The pendant measures 2 1/2 inches by 1 1/8 inches.

The weight is 16.6 grams.
