Description
- white gold, opal, diamond
Centering an oval-shaped opal measuring approximately 30.4 by 14.5 by 7.2 mm, flanked by two triangle-shaped diamonds weighing approximately .95 carat, length 17 inches.
Condition
In good condition. The opal, weighing approximately 18.25 carats displays a strong play of color, with strong flashes of red, orange, blue, green and yellow, with no visible crazing. Some minor matrix visible, primarily on the underside. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS clarity. Please note that the mounting is platinum and not 18-karat white gold as listed in the printed catalogue, and that the chain tests for white gold using an acid kit but we cannot confirm the exact karatage.
