Vintage necklace in 18K gold with opal (3.50ct approx.) And diamonds (0.36ctw approx.), 60s / 70s

This necklace is made up of two main elements: an 18K yellow gold chain, made with rather thick links, and a central decoration.
The latter has a beautiful V-shape, and is entirely in 18K white gold: the two arms are very sinuous, with the entire length decorated with diamonds, and with a floral element that connects them to the yellow gold chain; the exact center of the pendant necklace is decorated with a cabochon-cut opal of approx. 3.50 ct, surrounded by a halo of huit-huit-cut diamonds.
An interesting element is the fact that each element of the decoration is not fixed but slightly mobile, so that the necklace can be worn and "adjusted" perfectly around the neck.
The necklace dates back to the 60s / 70s and the diamonds are for a total of 0.36ct.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :
The chain is not contemporary with the pendant.
The stone weights indicated in carats represent approximate weights, taken with the stones set, which can therefore vary slightly.
Given the age and the fact that they are handcrafted jewels (and not in series), our antique and vintage jewels are often not perfect and may show normal signs of surface wear and / or small imperfections, possibly present both on the parts in gold than on stones.
But this is precisely what makes each piece special and unique!
NB: All our jewels are unique pieces, no one is alike! If you like it don't miss it
