    Description

    ***I included a picture of appraisal that came with this item when I acquired it. I usually don't include them unless done by my jeweler. But I just am providing a picture since item is valued at ,750. I don't know the accuracy of the details and I do know of one error, this item is definitely not new, most likely from the 1970's.***
    The necklace is 17" from end to end, chain is in excellent condition.
    The 3rd from last pic was taken in minimal natural lighting on a cloudy day to show that this is high quality boulder opal. Pictures were taken in a variety of lighting.***Please note these are most likely split boulder opal doublets. Since they are exactly matched an opal was split and most likely made into a doublet, since I see no matrix on the top of the stones.***
    The boulder opals that make up the butterfly wings are approx. 22x8mm each, the butterfly setting measures approx. 1 1/8" x 1 1/8". The opals have nice striping of various colors and are perfectly matched. (There are 2 accent diamonds in the setting, and when I purchased I was given the info that it is .03ctw and VSI, G ***I can't be certain of this, since it is a small accent diamond, I do not grade diamonds.*** )
    This necklace would be a wonderful addition to anyone's opal collection.
    It is in wonderful vintage condition and hallmarked 14k on pendant (with initials) and on clasp (weight 4.8g). Please note as listed above, there is a fracture to tip of left butterfly wing and tiny flake to very corner tip of bottom right wing (when looking at pictures, see 2nd to last picture). This was the condition when I purchased and I have worn many times without any problems. (Price reflects this, imperfections sometimes come with vintage items.)
