I bought this convertible brooch pendant after I found it again at an antique show almost a year ago.
The opal is a replacement stone, based upon the prong work and lack of crazing for the age. But any idea what kind? It's a solid piece, not a doublet. Any ideas?
I didn't buy it for the opal. I won't be upset if it's a bad one. I know nothing of opals. I bought it for the overall piece.
ETA: I think the original stone was probably a rose cut diamond or maybe a colored stone. The center is definitely a replacement.
