Magnificent and regal are two descriptors of this midcentury piece, which doubles as a pendant and a brooch. Intricate 14K yellow gold curves to entangle and mount the stones effortlessly. Bright green leaves of enamel intersperse with round cut richly blood-red garnet stones around the outer frame of the pendant. The teardrop shape at the center combined with the deep scarlet and gold hues highlight the beauty of the opal. The cabochon opal glitters with its flecks of pastel hues. Atop the pear-shaped piece is a bail featuring curved gold in a heart shape, punctuated by a single garnet. Each of the fifteen garnets on this pendant is 2mm. This stunning mid 20th century piece has wear consistent with age. It is 2.1 inches long and 1.25 inches wide, weighing a total of 14.1g.
