Estate 14KT Yellow Gold Oval Boulder Opal Pendant, ca. 1990's

Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, ca. 1990's, this estate pendant is set with a single oval boulder opal, measuring approximately 19 x 14.45 x 5.62mm and weighing approximately 6.77 ct. Total measurements are approximately 1 1/4 x 1/4 inch, with a weight of approximately 2.8 grams.

Boulder opal is a rare variety of opal formed within ironstone host rock, prized for the way the natural dark host material remains intact behind the opal, creating a deep, contrasting backdrop that intensifies the stone's vivid play of color. Unlike more uniform opal cuts, boulder opals are shaped to follow the natural formation of the stone, meaning no two are ever alike. Opal, October's birthstone, is celebrated for its unique play of color — a shifting, iridescent flash of hues unlike any other gemstone — and this substantial 6.77 ct example showcases that phenomenon on a striking, collector-worthy scale.

Elevate your jewelry collection with this boulder opal pendant, a truly one-of-a-kind addition for collectors of natural, luminous gemstone jewelry. Its substantial carat weight and richly contrasting stone make it a striking statement piece as well as a thoughtful gift for an October birthday.
