Period Late Victorian era

Material Sterling silver, natural Opal

Condition Excellent, no condition issues to the setting, there is crazing and cracking to the opals - there are no chips.

The cross, of course, is a Victorian-era symbol of religiousfaith, as faith and spirituality were a central part of life in Victorian England. Here, the cross pendant is ofsubstantial size and minimal design, resting prominently on the wearer’s chestand featuring no ornate embellishment, for a dignified, imperial look. Creamy naturalopals fill in the sterling silver setting for a classic, white-silver colorscheme. The opals reveal their antique age readily, having lost some of theglimmering fire the stone is known to have. However, their resulting milky whitecolor and soft gloss is pretty as it is, and flashes of subtle color are stillevident in the light. The piece was quality constructed to last and includesthe original sterling silver chain.
