14k Gold Carved Australian Opal CAMEO Pendant *2-Sided* VIDEO
Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!
For sale is a 14k yellow gold reversible pendant with a carved Australian opal. This is one of the most unusual, beautiful, and expertly crafted opal pendants I have ever had the honor to sell in my store. The opal has been delicately hand-carved with two portraits; a bearded man on one side, and a beautiful long-haired woman on the other. Each face is magnificently rendered in exquisite detail.
The style reminds me of Michelangelo, with an unbelievable attention to each individual detail and feature. Each clearly displays the pathos and emotion etched on each face. The male portrait has an aquiline nose and a stern expression. He has tightly curled hair and a full beard. The female has a softer expression, gentle with sweet roundness to her features. Although I do not know the history of the pendant, I imagine the two portraits were commissioned to honor the owner's mother and father.
This is a classic semi-translucent Australian white opal, that flashes with brilliant cherry red, lime green, peacock blue and tangerine fire in sunlight. The opal is set in a gold frame and has an articulated bail to accommodate your chain. This is such an unusual, elegant, and beautifully crafted pendant!

***A previous owner has used some amber colored resin to secure the opal, which is visible at the top of the pendant (near the bail.) The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
