Description

This Egyptian Revival opal necklace makes a distinctive antique statement, combining strong geometric design with three luminous opals. A large oval cabochon opal forms the focal point, while two smaller opals sit above within the stepped upper section. The pendant hangs from an 18-inch gold chain, giving it a wearable length while allowing the architectural design to remain the focus.

Design & Craftsmanship

The 1920s pendant uses the bold geometry associated with Egyptian Revival jewellery, with angular outlines, stepped sections and pierced openwork. The central oval opal sits in a smooth bezel setting and shows flashes of blue, green and soft violet against a pale body colour. Two smaller opals continue the design vertically above it. Meanwhile, the open framework gives the pendant depth without making it feel overly heavy. The geometric construction and decorative cut-out sections create a strong 1920s silhouette.

Why We Love This Pendant

The combination of opal and structured Egyptian Revival design gives this piece real character. The large central stone provides colour and movement, while the smaller opals add balance without distracting from the main feature.  It is a distinctive piece for someone who values unusual opal jewellery and Art Deco design.

How to Style

This Egyptian Revival opal necklace suits someone drawn to bold vintage jewellery, Art Deco influences and statement pieces. It works well over a simple blouse, knitwear or an open neckline, where the geometric shape can be fully appreciated. The 18-inch chain gives it a versatile position on the chest, while the warm gold tone pairs easily with both neutral and richer colours. It can also be layered with finer gold chains for a more contemporary look.
