A selection of opal jewellery including some items that are also set with marcasite, including three brooches, two rings and a pendant.
We are pleased to be offering this lot from the stock of family run firm Shipton and Co., who were based in Hastings White Rock area, and who were unfortunately forced to close their doors in 2014 after a section of the rock face above collapsed onto their shop, making the building unsafe. White opal has a white background and is sub-transparent to translucent and usually displays opalescence with some showing all the spectral colours. Most white opal comes from Australia but is also found in Hungary, Ethiopia and Canada. Some believe with its display of fire, opal can spark creativity. The light-colored gemstones have long been associated with helping people become less visible to others, and also in improving eyesight.
