This exquisite Edwardian pendant from the collection of Elizabeth Taylor showcases a stunning 7.35-carat black opal framed by 52 sparkling Old European cut diamonds totaling 1.90 carats. The cabochon opal displays a mesmerizing play of color, from deep blues and greens to flashes of fiery red, embodying the mystical allure of this remarkable gemstone. Set against the cool elegance of platinum and suspended from a delicate 14K white gold chain, the pendant epitomizes the refined luxury of the Edwardian era. The stunning accessory comes complete with its original box. This pendant once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, a legendary Hollywood icon known for her impeccable taste in fine jewelry. Later, this pendant was owned by the supermodel-turned-entrepreneur, Kathy Ireland, adding to its illustrious provenance. 

Elizabeth Taylor was celebrated not only for her extraordinary beauty and acting talent but also for her legendary jewelry collection. Over her lifetime Elizabeth Taylor amassed a collection of jewels that rivaled most royal families. Her assemblage, among the most significant in the world, featured iconic masterpieces from Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, JAR, Bulgari and other distinguished design houses. This necklace is further elevated by its provenance as a part of Kathy Ireland's collection. Ireland, a prominent figure who seamlessly transitioned from supermodel to dynamic businesswoman, has leveraged her brand's influence to become a major force in fashion and home furnishings. Alongside Taylor, the two have redefined the concept of "Hollywood Icon."
