Victorian Opal Bangle
Gorgeous Victorian bangle with nine vibrant white opals in hybrid cut-down/prong settings. The stones display excellent play of colour as they hit the light, flecks of vivid colour across the whole rainbow spectrum appear to dance over an orange glow, and an unusually translucent - 'watery' or 'gelatinous' - body tone. It's crafted in 15 carat gold and an inscription inside the band allows us to date it to 1899: "From L. A. Pauling to May. July 25th 1899."

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
