I would wear that diamond brooch! It's beautiful and I absolutely love it. The opal is also quite stunning, but if I had my choice, the brooch is the winner in my personal opinion.

The English have the habit of under-valuing precious jewelry. That opal alone is worth triple or more of what was quoted. And same for the brooch. 8 carats $35k. ? Worth so much more.
My mom had an oral necklace and a amber one. After she died I went to Germany to clean out her apartment and didn't find them. Her money box was gone too.
Platinum was not used in jewellery before the very late 1800s, and very rarely in association to an underlay of yellow gold (which it does not structurally need). Also, you can see the oxidation/tarnishing in the setting of the centre diamond.
Which of these two jewellery pieces do you prefer and why? Tell us below 👇
The diamond brooch. Sell it, buy the opal one and do something else with the rest of the money.
Diamond brooch, definitely.
The diamond of course.
That beautiful opal hands down! A semi precious rainbow that leaves you breathless!

My birth stone is opal and I absolutely adore them so my choice would be to give you the diamond if I could. I'll keep the opal.
Beautiful, both of them. You have to appreciate the artistry.
Both are fine pieces of jewels.
Diamonds 💎 always
The opal has it because of its rarity🌟
I'd wear both pieces oh my God they're gorgeous.. 🥰
Oh what what what!! How the other half live
What do you mean? Do you know them?

The minute the owner began to speak you just knew she’d have some old great uncle who’d run a colony or something.
I believe she's undervalued the opal. The opal alone is worth £5K. With the diamonds it would be significantly more.
I agree.

The opal, just because of the 100 million year origin story told by the appraiser and that the colors are truly spectacular.
Hook line and sinker
That woman is insane ,” hideous “ diamond brooch? Such a peasant…
She's obviously very rich. Dimamonds aren't that special for ber
I don't know if she's wealthy or not. Some people don't care much for jewelry, she seems to be like that.
My mom had an oral necklace and a amber one. After she died I went to Germany to clean out her apartment and didn't find them. Her money box was gone too.
The necklace could speak?
Elderly people are often victims of thieves. Sometimes they give stuff away to people surrounding them.
I'd buy them outright for $35,000 US!
The brooch is supposed to be ve worn on a corset. Of course it's too heavy for modern garments
Preposterous! 100 million years old! How could she possibly know a thing like that? Absurd
Geology.
@ God created the heavens and the earth and it wasn’t that long ago.
@gs...I agree with you. Where do they come up with those numbers?!
Geology.
Diamond only brooch is rather platinum and gold instead of silver and gold.
lol. you can tell that through the screen as a YT expert better than a real expert in person that can see the markings? Sit down
Jewelry made at that time was often made from cast silver then coated with a layer of gold.
