Hello everyone
Just a little 9ct gold brooch to show you which features a very nice crown set, cabochon cut Boulder Opal.
The brooch measures 6cm long and is marked 9ct. I would be fairly certain that it is Australian made........time frame? Not sure, at a guess, early 1900s.
I bought this at an antiques fair about 2 years ago and I really love it!
Hope the colours in the opal show through enough for you to see how beautiful it is and that you enjoy. Thanks, Judy.:-)
I don't think boulder opals are appreciated enough but I love the subtlety of those colours poking through the matrix. So beautiful.
Thank you Eileen for such a lovely comment, opals are quite magical aren't they! So happy you think it is beautiful :-)
Thanks Karen, Must admit I prefer Boulder opals.......I like the other ones too, but the older boulder opals really are beautiful especially as you say with the colours poking through:-)
Very beautiful, and very lucky you !~
Such a beautiful boulder opal! I too love the matrix showing the colorful veins!
Thanks very much Phil, always enjoy your comments :-)
Thanks Pascale, glad you love it like I do! Those veins are what I love the most about these opals.....never know which colour will pop out first:-)
I would really like to find some more of the older set pieces:-)
Thank you Ken, glad you love it too, I think these are just so special:-)
Just Beautiful!!
