The pink color tone on Peter’s pink gold grading scale which goes from 0-10 with 10 as the deepest possible is a solid 8.  Now let’s move on to describe the pendant.  Totally hand made 15k pink gold intricately hand pierced.  Around the center section bow motif.  On the top Ribbon motif and on the bottom hand set with genuine natural silvery white pearls.  All of which appear to be original and 7 gem quality well polished crystal opals with pink, red, blue and green flash.  Again all the opals appear to be well polished and original.  The pendant has no repairs or defects.  It does appear that originally the bale at the top was removable and it could be used as a pin as well.  The old style catch for the pin is still on the back and folds down.  The pin stem is removable and is no longer present.  The bale at the top is now permanently attached.  This is a very rare world class jewel.  We will not separate the chain and pendant.  The chain can easily be shortened if one wishes to.  Pieces of this fine a quality in almost unused condition are very rare and seldom offered for sale.  We are very proud to offer this here.  It is on display in our Stamford Ct. showroom. It is worth a trip from anywhere to see.  19 pearls.  7 oval opals approx. total weight 1.00cts.  Tested:  15c.  27.3 grams.  2 1/8 x 1 1/8 inches.            Chain stamped 15k.  Chain:  20 inches.                             We know it is scary out there.
