The Empress Pendant: Natural Mexican White Fire Opal (3.47 ct) – From the Vault of the Empress
Price: € 695,- (Includes S925 Silver Chain & Official ALGT Certification)
The Story Behind the Jewel This delicate pendant is a rare survivor from the private "New Old Stock" archive of Mia Verbeeck, the legendary Empress of the Antwerp Birds Market. While most stones in the vault were kept loose, this 3.47-carat White Fire Opal was carefully selected to be part of a limited jewelry series. Sourced from Mexico prior to 1980, it represents a time when Mexican mines were the global gold standard for opals of this purity and translucency.
Double Guarantee of Authenticity
- Scientific Certification (ALGT): Report No. 61810416 identifies this as a Natural Fire Opal. With "no indications of treatment," its soft 'White/Orange' glow is entirely as nature intended.
- Heritage Certificate: Accompanied by the Babiche Bijoux Heritage Certificate, documenting its direct lineage from the Mia Verbeeck private estate.
From the Empress’s Notebook In her handwritten ledgers, Mia often spoke of the protective qualities of opals when worn close to the heart. Of this specific variety, her notes mention: "The white opal acts as a mirror for the soul. Worn as a pendant, it brings clarity to one's path and a gentle warmth to the spirit."
