Held within a simple gold bezel setting, the stone forms the centre of an elegant botanical design, with two scrolling leaves decorated with tiny creamy-white seed pearls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delicate naturalistic design reflects the influence of the Art Nouveau movement, which flourished around the turn of the 20th century. During this period, jewellers were particularly inspired by the natural world, incorporating flowers, leaves, insects and other organic forms into their designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpals have been admired for centuries for their extraordinary play of colour. Unlike most gemstones, which derive their beauty from a single dominant colour, opals can display a remarkable spectrum of colours caused by the diffraction of light within their microscopic structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, opals enjoyed considerable popularity in jewellery, particularly following the discovery and development of Australia's rich opal deposits during the 19th century. Opals are also the birthstone for October. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delightful example of Edwardian jewellery, combining the magical beauty of an opal with the delicate naturalism of the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our pins come with stoppers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57644180472181,"sku":"224M","price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/edwardian-18ct-gold-opal-seed-pearl-floral-tie-pin-3286081.jpg?v=1792001364","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/es\/products\/edwardian-18ct-gold-opal-seed-pearl-floral-tie-pin","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
