A mesmerising black opal from Lightning Ridge, bezel-set in an open-back, solid 9ct gold pendant. This captivating stone displays an exceptional blue and green play of colour, shifting and dancing as it catches the light. The darker body tone creates a beautiful contrast against the vivid flashes of colour, giving the opal an incredible depth and almost electric quality. The warm gold complements the vibrant blues and neon greens spectacularly.
The pendant has been carefully handcrafted in my garden studio using 100% recycled gold.
Black opal is among the most highly prized varieties of opal, particularly those from Lightning Ridge in Australia, renowned for producing some of the world’s finest examples. Unlike lighter varieties, its naturally dark body tone allows the flashes of colour to appear especially vivid, creating an extraordinary display that can look completely different depending on the light and angle. No two opals display their colour in quite the same way, making each one a little world of its own.
Traditionally associated with creativity, originality and self-expression, opal is believed to encourage confidence, independence and spontaneity. It’s also said to inspire imagination, helping its wearer embrace their individuality and see the world a little differently.
