This gorgeous and stunning antique stickpin dates from the Edwardian era and is made of a 15ct gold terminal, set on a 9ct gold pin. The terminal is set with an incredibly colourful natural, cabochon cut, Australian opal. The opal has a flash fire pattern and throws out different colours in different lights: blue, green and pink. The opal is in an open back setting and the colours look more dramatic when it is worn against a dark background.
The stickpin measures 6.2cms length; the opal (including the gold mount) measures 1cm x 8mm
As is sometimes the case with jewellery of this age and type there are no hallmarks; the stickpin has been professionally tested and is made of a 15ct yellow gold terminal set on a 9ct yellow gold pin.
This antique stickpin is over 100 years old and is in very good condition for its age, with no damage and showing just very light signs of age / general wear. The opal itself is in lovely condition with no chips, damage or wear and with a lovely, glossy surface finish. The opal mount is slightly more yellow gold in colour than the pin, which has a slightly warmer tone.
