A beautiful dainty vintage pendant crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold, fully hallmarked for the year 1978. This sweet pendant is full of warmth and understated elegance. At its centre sits a luminous natural oval cabochon opal, displaying soft milky tones with flashes of green, blue, and gentle pastel fire that shift subtly as the pendant moves in the light. The natural play of colour gives the stone a calm, glowing presence that feels both delicate and eye-catching.

The opal is held in a classic claw setting that allows light to pass through the stone, enhancing its natural colour and depth. Above the setting, a simple fluted gold bail adds a touch of vintage detail while keeping the overall design clean and timeless. The combination of smooth gold and glowing opal creates a balanced, elegant look that is easy to wear every day.

Opal has long been associated with hope, creativity, and intuition, and its ever-changing colours make each stone feel unique and full of character. This pendant is a lovely example of vintage gemstone jewellery - simple, meaningful, and effortlessly wearable - whether chosen as a gift, a birthstone piece for October, or a classic addition to a jewellery collection.

Photographed on light, dark and skin tone backgrounds, to allow you to see how the colour shifts and changes in different situations.

This item, along with the others in our Dear Rose, With Love shop, has been hand selected by us, for you. We sell only estate, vintage, and antique items - which means we only ever have one of each piece. The pieces of jewellery offered by us are old treasures, and we rarely find two identical. Once each piece has gone, it's truly gone, and you will likely never find another!

* All gemstones have been tested and verified using a Presidium Gemstone Tester. All measurements and carat weights given are approximations.

* Our photographs have been taken with a magnified macro lens to show you every tiny detail. This often means that any flaws or damage which you can see on the item in the photos, will not appear as visible in person when viewed normally with the eye. This can also mean that the item can appear larger on the screen than it is in person, so please be sure to read our written description to clarify all sizes and dimensions.
