These dance wonderfully when worn! Four vibrant, blue based Opals, held in teethy closed back claw settings, connected by a fine piece of chain. They are light and comfortable to wear, secure with the post and butterfly fitting, but still have excellent visual impact.
 
In excellent antique condition, the larger opals have very minor surface wear on inspection with a loupe. They will need treating with a little respect as the chain is fine.
