Reimagined Opal and Rose Cut Diamond Dragonfly Necklace

$8,300.00

A beautiful symbol of grace and change this whimsical early Art Nouveau dragonfly would like to gift you a magical opal with a dazzling array of electric blues paired with neon greens, with flashes of bubblegum pink that fades into a Sunkist orange. She is depicted in flight with delicate lace-like wings encrusted with shimmering bezel-set old-mine cut and glittering rose-cut diamonds, including a sunshiney yellow diamond and a two pink topazes. The abdomen is lined with cheerful pink topaz and rose cut diamonds, terminating in a tiny pearl.
