Vintage Opal Pendant of 14k Gold

A luminous vintage pendant from the 1980s, centered with a beautifully proportioned oval opal set in solid 14k gold and accented with a petite diamond that adds a discreet point of sparkle. The opal displays an attractive play of color, with soft flashes that shift gently as the pendant moves, making it an elegant focal point without overpowering the design. The minimalist gold setting reflects the clean, wearable aesthetic favored in late 20th-century fine jewelry, allowing the natural beauty of the gemstone to take center stage.

The pendant measures approximately 1.1 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 0.65 inches wide and weighs 3.14 grams, offering a pleasing balance of presence and comfort when worn.

The gold has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with traditional jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating its 14k composition. In great vintage condition, this pendant is a timeless and versatile piece, ideal for collectors and wearers who appreciate opal’s ethereal charm paired with refined, understated goldwork.
