Art Deco jewellers elevated opals from Victorian sentimentality to sophisticated modernism, creating settings that celebrated the stone's natural light play rather than overwhelming it. This exceptional example showcases an 11.51-carat crystal opal displaying violet, blue, and green fire, surrounded by a precisely ordered halo of 56 single-cut diamonds totalling 0.36 carats.

Crafted in platinum with intricate pierced foliate motifs and diamond-set shoulders, the 7.47-gram mounting demonstrates the era's mastery of geometric elegance. The opal remains in excellent condition with high polish and vivid colour play.

A sophisticated piece for those who understand that true luxury lies in the harmony between exceptional materials and thoughtful design.
