Australian Boulder Opal Pendant In Yellow Gold

Contemporary pendant in 750/°° yellow gold (18 KT, owl hallmark), adorned with a large white Australian opal, called “boulder”: this variety of opal appears in the form of iridescent veins, more precisely “opalescent”, within a rock, the matrix. The spectacular phenomenon occurs after water has infiltrated the cracks and cavities of the rock, and slowly solidified there. It is this rare geological phenomenon that gives opal its preciousness and its characteristic and fascinating play of colors...mainly blue and green, but we also see, as the movements go, yellow, orange, red....The geological phenomenon of the formation of white opal, in itself, is not the only interest of this pendant, whose matrix also presents fascinating designs...The original shape of the rock has been preserved, cut in a very soft and natural "pebble" shape, around which a custom-designed setting has been designed. This is discreet while enhancing its brilliance. Its design allows the opal to be worn in both directions, front/back, to fully enjoy all its aspects. The stone, like its setting, makes it a rare and unique piece of jewelry.
