An Opal and Diamond Brooch, circa 1910, an oval polished black opal in a yellow millegrain setting

An Opal and Diamond Brooch, circa 1910, an oval polished black opal in a yellow millegrain setting, within a frame of rose cut diamonds with four larger old cut diamonds at intervals, in white millegrain settings, measures 2.4cm by 2.1cm see illustration

Sold for £2,100
Estimated at £300 - £400


 

. The brooch is in good condition. It fastens with a pin and hook catch. It bears no hallmark, nor stamps, but in our opinion it would test as gold and silver. The opal measures 1.55cm by 1.4cm approximately. The setting covers the possible demarcation points so unable to be certain but believed not to be a composite. Gross weight 3.2 grams. CR made 5th September 2019.
