DATE: Vintage, c.1960

An enchanting asymmetrical pendant, its form determined by the huge chunk of opal that makes up its body. The opal displays excellent play of colour, with shimmering greens and deep blues punctuated by flashes of orange and red that come and go as it moves in the light. It's held in place by 53 slender claws, and features a diamond-set flower appearing to grow over the front towards the centre. Crafted in 18 karat gold and dating from the 1960s.
