For many years the brooch was considered one of the less fashionable pieces of jewellery, hidden in drawers or at the back of jewellery boxes. But brooches are experiencing a major revival, appearing everywhere from the red carpet to the runway.

Opal is the enchanting and iridescent gemstone celebrated as the birthstone for October. At Thomas Glover, we are delighted to present a curated selection of antique opal jewellery, each piece capturing the mesmerising play of colour that defines this gem.
