Hardly any other gemstone is surrounded by as many myths and legends as the opal. Many cultures used it as a talisman to bring beauty, luck and success to its wearer; the Greeks even attributed the stone with the power of prophecy. So it's no wonder that we are still attracted to the ever-changing play of colors of gemstones from the deserts of Australia. This piece of jewelry from the 1970s is crafted from white gold and offers a seductive view of an Australian black opal. The gemstone has a spectacular play of blue and green tones, as if you were looking at the iridescent plumage of a kingfisher. It is an opal triplet, i.e. a composite that holds an opal slice protectively between a pane of glass and an agate on the underside. The colorful sight is accompanied by six small diamonds, which are placed over the upper edge of the opal like a shooting star. The piece of jewelry can be worn as a brooch. However, thanks to two eyelets on the back, the opal can also be worn as a pendant on a chain or a thicker silk cord. We discovered the piece, which was probably handcrafted in Germany, here in Berlin.
