Meet Eugena,

A Vintage 14k Gold Opal Crab Pendant & Brooch

A striking vintage crab pendant and brooch crafted in solid 14k gold, set with a natural Coober Pedy opal as its shimmering shell. This 1970s statement piece features lifelike details, with deep ruby cabochon eyes and diamond accents decorating its elegantly sculpted claws.

Designed to be worn as both a pendant and a brooch, this crab appears to grasp onto its chain when worn as a necklace, adding a playful touch to its bold elegance. The back is stamped "IPS", likely identifying the maker as International Pearl Syndicate.

Heavy, well-crafted, and timelessly unique—this is not just a piece of jewelry, but a true collector’s item.

18-inch gold-plated sterling silver box chain included.
