Stunning 375 gold and opal brooch fashioned in intricate Edwardian style. The piece features a refined openwork frame with scrolling foliate details, evoking the delicate naturalistic jewellery styles of the Art Nouveau and Belle Époque period. At the centre is an oval cabochon opal, securely claw-set and displaying a soft play of colour with flashes of green, yellow, and subtle pink tones. The opal is visually lively and well proportioned for the setting, giving the brooch an elegant yet distinctive presence when worn. The brooch is presented in a Victorian domed casket of purple velvet and cream silk, which complements the character of the piece and enhances its collectability and presentation appeal. This brooch is highly versatile and may be worn on a lapel, dress, or scarf, making it suitable both as a statement jewel and as a refined accent piece. 9kt / 9k / 375 gold 6.68 g 4.5 × 2.8 × 0.5 cm Natural opal, estimated at approximately 2.75 carats The brooch is in very good overall condition, with the opal securely set and showing attractive play of colour.
