An elegant vintage gentleman's tie tack featuring a luminous oval white opal cabochon mounted in an attractive gold-tone scalloped prong setting. The polished opal displays a pleasing milky white body color enlivened by vibrant flashes of green, blue, orange, and pink fire, creating the captivating play-of-color for which fine opals are celebrated. The gemstone is securely held within a decorative crown-style mounting that enhances both the brilliance of the opal and the classic styling of the piece. The reverse is fitted with a traditional tie tack post, retaining clutch, and safety chain with tie bar, allowing for secure wear while preserving the refined appearance expected of vintage gentleman's accessories. Throughout the twentieth century, opal tie tacks were favored as sophisticated accents for business and formal attire. Their understated elegance and unique gemstone characteristics continue to appeal to collectors of estate jewelry and vintage men's accessories. The generous cabochon and decorative mounting give this example exceptional visual appeal, making it equally suitable for wear or display. An excellent addition to any collection of vintage jewelry, gentleman's accessories, estate opal jewelry, or classic formal wear.

  • Circa: Mid to Late 20th Century
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition. The opal displays attractive multicolored play-of-color with no obvious chips or fractures visible in the provided photographs. The gold-tone mounting exhibits light surface wear and minor patina consistent with age and use. The clutch back and safety chain remain present.
