Natural Australian Opal Emerald Diamond 18k Gold Pin Large Carved Flower Midcentury Brooch
Description: I wish you could see this in person because it is sooooo much prettier than the pics! The large 18k gold floral design is comprised of 5 skillfully carved, natural opal flowers, each with a fine quality diamond solitaire at center, and embellished with clear, vivid green natural emeralds. We calculate over 3/4ctw of emeralds & approx. 1/2ctw of G-H color, VS/2 to SI/1 clarity diamonds. Beautiful play of color on the opals - a truly exceptional piece! We will have our jeweler give this a gentle cleaning before shipping to the lucky winner.
