Adorn your collection with the breath-taking artistry of this 9ct Yellow Gold Antique Opal Set Butterfly On Branch Floral Bar Necklace.
Designed with exquisite late Victorian or Edwardian period detail, this statement bar necklace (which in our opinion is potentially a converted piece from a traditional bar brooch) features a gently curved lower bar pave-set with a graduated row of vibrant cabochon opals. Emerging from the branch is a delicate butterfly alongside two small floral blossom motifs, each beautifully inset with fiery opals that flash luminous blues, greens, and pinks as they catch the light.
The detailed bar pendant is integrated directly into a sturdy vintage 9ct yellow gold link chain with a traditional tongue and box clasp, allowing the detailed motif to rest comfortably flat against the collarbone.
Crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold, this piece is a rare find for collectors of fine antique jewellery, nature-inspired motifs, or October birthstone pieces.
Please note one of the opals is chipped and this has been detailed in the photos so please check these fully before proceeding with your purchase.
As with all vintage and antique jewellery, there may be signs of wear conducive with age and use. It is an integral part of what makes them appealing, adding history, charm and individualism to each piece. But they should be treated with care to help preserve their beauty as they may be more delicate than their modern counterparts.
