A late Victorian resplendent opal and diamond bangle bracelet is a rare treat.

Seven Australian oval opals, each with their own distinct personalities, decorate the top of this hinged bangle. Each is graduated in size from .80 carats down to .10 carats.

Fireworks of color range from peacock neon tones as well as more subtle colors, with almost every rainbow hue present. Blues, greens, yellows, oranges, and hints of red are all on display.

At the center, the opal is the grandest with vivid hues in the blue green range. Purposefully, the other opal's more subtle coloration allows the largest be the star.

In clusters surrounding the opals, antique diamonds regally set off the light show in high style.

The bangle is shaped in a slight oval in three parts that merge to one at the back. Hinged, it has a built-in safety clasp.
