Opals were a big fashion in the late Victorian era, as it was only then that Australian opals arrived in Britain from the overseas colonies. Before the discovery of precious opals in Australia, the mines in Dubník, then in Hungary, were the only European mines for precious opals, but Australian opals were far more brilliant in color. This led to a veritable opal craze, and no British jeweler in the years around 1900 could do without opals in their range. This bracelet contains three of these special stones, each of which shimmers in turquoise blue and green. These are so-called crystal opals: they are characterized by slightly translucent bodies in which the colour patterns appear to float like cosmic nebulae. If such a crystal opal is held up to the light, it shimmers peach-colored; however, if it is worn or set against an opaque background, the green-blue color intensifies. The opals are accompanied by two white pearls. The bracelet is crafted from 9-karat gold, which impresses with its warm rose gold color. It is in very good condition and we discovered it in London.
