Antique Victorian Arts And Crafts Black Opal Pendant Necklace Silver Circa 1900

Product Details

A fabulous antique arts and crafts necklace from the late Victorian era featuring a large pendant bezel set with eight vibrant black opals. The largest opal is approx. 5ct in the centre and is accompanied by smaller 0.60ct stones and a 4ct dropper.  

The Arts and Crafts movement advocated a revival of traditional handicrafts in the late 19^th century and used romantic, folk decoration with an influx of colour and sparkle to counteract the rather mechanised industrialisation of modern design. 

The open-worked pendant is decorated with berries, vine leaves and rope edging. It’s crafted in sterling silver and fitted with a pin at the back so it can also be worn as a brooch. 

It’s a wonderful antique find and accompanied by a long, silver chain made up of fancy silver links to display it on.
