A gorgeous gold necklace from the Edwardian era, featuring two beautiful precious opals, one oval, one round, set in warm buttery gold settings and suspended from the fine and delicate trace chain with a spring ring clasp. Opals became very popular following discoveries in Australia in the Victorian era, and these two stones are beautiful examples. The lower oval opal is pale blue/white with flashes of red from different angles. While the top round opal is more blue green with a bright green play of colour as its moved in the light.

We must stress than the chain on this piece is delicate and dainty, and we are seeking a very careful owner for this necklace. For example, the end loop on the chain (that the clasp clips onto) is not soldered, and that means if the chain suffers a pull the loop will open. It's been this way for many years and survived, and we would like the piece's next own to be just as careful as those before - it would be awful if this lovely necklace got lost (and of course, we can't help if it does). 

A truly lovely of piece of jewellery ready to romance a new custodian's neck, and be added to their treasured vintage jewellery collection. Featuring arguably the most magical gemstone of them all - precious opal.

Sterling silver and 9ct yellow/rose gold all develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture, Perspiration & Humidity
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow or rose gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold. Please do not use these cloths on gold plated jewellery.

For advice on removing more stubborn tarnish, please reach out with photos and we can give you some product/care suggestions.
