Boulder Opal Curve Pendant c1980

Boulder Opal Curve Pendant c1980

A cosmic glow of shimmering and radiant blue, acid green, neon yellow, and fiery orange, flashes within an ethereal boulder opal in this handmade bespoke pendant! Set in a simple bezel, this boulder opal is embraced by a solid gold ribbon that ascends from its back, looping over its top, cascading down its side and curving around its bottom and curling on the end and reaches around its back. This swooshing ribbon curl creates the bale, modernizing an art nouveau aesthetic with a minimal design that highlights sensual, sweeping curves.

Likely of Australian origin, this boulder opal pendant appears to be a handmade custom piece crafted in the 1980s. A maker's mark on the back expresses well deserved pride in its craftsmanship, though we are unfamiliar with its attribution. This magnificent opal pendant is work of art– its spectacular stone is perfectly balanced in its unique, finely crafted setting!
