SOLD Antique Art Nouveau 14K & Opal Rococo Frame Double Lariat Pendant Necklace

 Opals have long been admired for the sparks in their multi-colored depths. They were considered by all in the ancient world to be the most bewitching and mysterious of gems. Queen Victoria loved them so much, she gifted her daughters with opal jewels for their wedding days. 

Framed elaborately in 14 karat gold, the large opal stone on the pendant of this necklace is certainly bewitching to behold! Gaze into the broad cabochon face, and enter into another world of sparks and swirls which will keep you mesmerized with their complexity and beauty! With an overall length of 18 inches, the chain ends in two weighty golden danglers, fashioned in a swirled design, echoing the dark golden frame around the opal. The pendant is fixed in place on this bolo-style piece. Unique and luscious in the presentation, it's sure to become a favorite in your collection!
