Mallorie | 7-Inch White Australian Opal & Diamond Tennis Bracelet in 10k Gold

Likely manufactured sometime between the late 1990s and early 2000s, this estate Australian opal tennis bracelet discovered in Fairfield, California features 21 natural white Coober Pedy opals with highly subtle play-of-color, prong-set in solid 10k yellow gold.  Between each opal-mounted segment is a white, rhodium plated metal accent; approximately half of these (10 in total) are mounted with diamonds—the rest are simply polished metal providing the clever illusion of even more diamonds.

Measuring 7 inches in length, the bracelet is in excellent condition for its age.  Prongs and links appear unworn and intact under 10x magnification; the durable base metal tongue of the box-style clasp clicks securely into place, as does the single-latch safety mechanism fitted to the side of the clasp.  Though lightweight and delicate in its appearance, the bracelet weighs a hefty 7.89 grams that goes noticed when worn.

For a similar, heftier 7.5 inch-long version with even larger Australian white opals, don't miss Cortney, our 10k gold Coober Pedy opal tennis bracelet.
